Dropsight

Sprayer calibration and deposit management

Easy-to-use instrument for measuring the deposition efficiency of the formulation on natural plant surfaces.

About Dropsight

DropSight® is an easy-to-use, scientifically developed tool for measuring formulation spray deposition on natural plant surfaces. Through the specially designed photo lab (LeafLab), UV fluid (UView) and DropSight® app for a smartphone, you can stop guessing and make informed decisions based on quantitative measurements of spray application.

The app

The DropSight® app, in combination with LEAFLAB and UVIEW, provides a complete solution for quantitative analysis of UV tracer deposition on leaf surfaces. LeafLab is a portable, on-site laboratory specifically designed for UV photography of plant leaves with DropSight® to quantify deposition efficiency on a plant within minutes of application.

UV LED illumination with wavelength, intensity and uniformity to optimize fluorescence for smartphone photography when using UView Tracer completes the technical specification. The UView fluorescent liquid is detected by DropSight® and the deposition efficiency is measured and calculated.

Value proposition

• Reduce the risk of poor biological control results due to poor sprayer adjustment and inadequate spray distribution.
• Reduce the risk of unacceptable residue levels due to accumulation and runoff resulting from excessive volume and/or droplet spectrum.
• Reduction of chemical losses caused by the run-off of excessive spray volumes.
• Reduce the risk of soil and groundwater contamination from excessive amounts of spray.
• Evaluate and quantify the risk of drift to adjacent crops.
• Optimizing the use of chemical formulations to avoid over- and under-dosing, minimizing crop losses and potential resistance development.
• Optimizing the selection and use of auxiliaries and additives to improve deposition efficiency.
• Optimize the design of the sprayer performance.
