Spray

Spraying is the action of spreading a liquid into tiny particles.

Spraying is the procedure of spraying and the result thereof. The verb to pulverize, which comes from the Latin word pulverizāre , refers to diffusing a liquid substance into tiny particles or turning something into powder . Symbolically, to pulverize is to destroy something.

For example: "The button that allows the spraying of the air freshener does not work" , "Thanks to the mass, the spraying of the rock took me a few seconds" , "The spraying of the project was the responsibility of the manager, it seemed to me "An interesting idea."

It is common for the concept of spraying to be used with reference to an aerosol . Spraying, in this sense, is equivalent to spraying or atomizing. The deodorants , insecticides and oils that come in this format are therefore sprayed: one can press a button so that the substance contained inside the container is expelled in small droplets.

Agricultural spraying

The idea of ​​agricultural spraying is used with reference to the activity carried out by airplanes and machines that spray fields. Fumigation, in this way, involves spreading some type of pesticide through its spraying on the ground.

Spraying within the agricultural field is carried out through different devices or machinery that help spread water as well as pesticides, herbicides and even any other compound that is necessary for the crops.

These machines can be classified according to several criteria, mainly taking these two into account:

  • Based on the type of product they expel, we find vaporizers , projected jets , nebulizers , atomizers or dusters , for example.
  • If we take into account the mode of operation they have, we come across hydraulic ones, backpack ones, self-propelled ones or towed ones.

Fumigation is based on the spraying of insecticides.

The selective system

In addition to all of the above, we cannot ignore that there is a specific system within the agricultural field. We are referring to the selective spraying system , which is carried out on land that has weeds at that time. This serves to detect the chlorophyll they have and through this procedure what is allowed is that the farmer can proceed to benefit from a series of advantages, such as reducing his expenses on herbicides and even preventing his crops from suffering drift problems.

And it gives the opportunity to have weeds under control at all times, without having to make significant expenses for it. A task that is undertaken in a much simpler way with a device that is based, among many other things, on the performance and tasks carried out by a series of sensors that are placed on those plants, at a height slightly above one meter. in height.

Other types of spraying

Sputtering , for its part, is what takes place when energetic ions are applied to a solid , causing the vaporization of those atoms that are part of the material in question. This process occurs due to collisions between atoms and ions.

In a colloquial sense, pulverization can be associated with destruction or annihilation : "The objective of the game is to pulverize the enemies."
