Spraying and mist-blowing in citrus applications

The applications in citrus are essential to keep or increase the productive levels.

Citrus is one of the starring crops of the national agrofood sector. Spain is a referential country in the world as a sixth producer and first exporting country, with a really recognized quality of product.

The official estimations of the 2018/19 harvest preview an increase in all the crops; specially in satsuma tangerine (+33,5%), lemon (+17,7%), clementines (+16,2%), oranges (+10,4%) and grapefruit (+6,6%).

To maintain, and even increase, the productive levels, and not to compromise the final quality, some appropriate treatment systems on citrus are essential.

Effective solutions for spraying labour. 

Among the different solutions to carry out spraying labour, the agricultural mist-blowers constitute a very effective alternative to reduce the water consumption and the product losses due to run-off. Besides, as they enable the application in a short period of time, they achieve that this can be carried out in the moment of highest sensitivity of the plague. 

It must be taken into account that among the main problems associated to the plagues' control in citrus we found the ignorance of the phenology of the plague, the wrong definition of the mixture volumes, the condition of the machinery and the regulation of the operative parameters of the tractor and the agricultural sprayer. 

Safe and trustworthy agricultural mistblowers

Our agricultural mistblowers distinguish themselves for their big toughness and highest quality. They are safe and trustworthy machines, thanks to the advanced performances at a technical level and the constant innovations of our engineering department. The air units create a big flow rate/pressure, depending on the needs for every customer, in order to achieve the highest efficacy in the treatment.

Our range of products includes a huge variety of trailed or liftmounted agricultural mistblowers with different performances depending on whether they are devoted to big sized trees and remarkably sized land plots, or a bigger value is given to the quality of applicable air or even a simultaneous application of four sides is needed. 

Trailed and lift-mounted dusters

On the other side, when it is needed to carry out a treatment in citrus with products in powder, dusters are chosen, whether trailed or liftmounted on the tractor. 

In TEYME we have a full range of dusters available trailed (DTSA) and liftmounted (DTSS) with different kits depending on the crop to be treated and the needs of every customer. They are technically highly-performing machines and provided with a system against product compactness to achieve an excellent treatment in citrus.

The responsible use of the phytosanitary products 

Independently on the sort of machine used in treatment of citrus and, in general, of any crop, the first world companies have become extremely highly demanding with the quality of the food they consume and the demand to know its traceability is growing. 

The producers feel compelled to warrant that the techniques and procedures they apply respect the Environment, excluding residues that could put at risk the consummers' health. The agricultural machines play a fundamental role in the responsible use of the phytosanitary products for the plagues' control.
