Air-blast sprayers dispense pesticides into a high-velocity air stream. They are generally used for spraying orchards, large numbers of shade trees, and some vine and vegetable crops. Sprayers of this type have been used in some areas for spraying row crops such as potatoes, and to a limited extent for field spraying of chemicals other than herbicides. 3, record 1, English, - air%2Dblast%20sprayer

Les pulvérisateurs à jet porté émettent les antiparasitaires dans un courant d'air à grande vitesse. Ils sont généralement utilisés pour la pulvérisation des vergers, de beaucoup d'arbres d'ombrage et de certaines cultures légumières. On s'en est servi dans quelques régions pour la pulvérisation des cultures en rangs comme les pommes de terre et, jusqu'à un certain point, pour l'application dans le champ, de produits chimiques autres que les herbicides. 2, record 1, French, - pulv%C3%A9risateur%20%C3%A0%20jet%20port%C3%A9
