Provided are a mosquito control aerosol which can produce a good control effect on mosquitoes over a long period of time while reducing influence on humans and pets, and a mosquito control method using the mosquito control aerosol. The mosquito control aerosol includes: a pressure-resistant container equipped with a metering spray valve, that contains a liquid aerosol-forming material including an insect pest control component and an organic solvent, and a propellant; and a spray button having a spray outlet connected to the metering spray valve. The volume of the liquid aerosol-forming material sprayed when the spray button is pressed down once is adjusted to 0.1 to 0.4 mL, and the spray force thereof as measured at a distance of 20 cm from the spray outlet at 25 C. is adjusted to 0.3 to 10.0 g.Math.f.

Apparatus and associated methods relate to a topical pests control application system (PCAS). In an illustrative example, the PCAS includes a foam generation unit (FGU) receiving a mixture of an active ingredient and a solvent (e.g., water). For example, the FGU may generate a pest controlling foam at a foam generating orifice having an input aperture and an output aperture. For example, the FGU may generate a mixture of the active ingredient and the solvent. For example, the input aperture and the output aperture may be selected as a function of a hose length connected to the PCAS, the active ingredient, the input flow rate, and a predetermined pressure drop between the input aperture and the output aperture. Various embodiments may advantageously generate the pest controlling foam with a minimum dwell time of at least 5 minutes posterior to application on a surface.

An application vehicle applies agricultural inputs to a crop supplied to the vehicle through a conduit. A fluid distribution system including a manifold is used to supply agricultural input to application devices.

A device for attaching a nozzle holder having a body and a casing to a supply line, the supply line having a receiving support in contact with the supply line; a receiving support hinge for pivoting a latch about a first pivot axis parallel to the direction of the supply line; a receiving support pin for locking the latch, the pin having a deformable clamp collar; and wherein the device being such that the clamp collar of the pin having an eccentric configured to cover the latch.

The present invention provides an improved magnetically attachable spray apparatus with a spray body extending between an angled mounting surface and a spray means, the angled mounting surface being generally secured to and supported by a magnetically attachable base which is moveable between a horizontal and a vertical configuration.

The present invention relates to a closing device configured to close a can of phytosanitary product, the closing device having a bottom wall having at least three through openings, and a peripheral wall protruding from the bottom wall, a first opening being configured to be connected to an outlet of phytosanitary product allowing the phytosanitary product to be discharged from the can, a second opening being configured to open in a sealed manner into an inflatable membrane and to be connected to an inlet of a pneumatic circuit, so as to allow an overpressure to be generated in the can by the expansion of the inflatable membrane by the pneumatic circuit, a third opening being configured to be connected to an inlet of a hydraulic flushing circuit.

The present invention relates to an agricultural spraying system, comprising: a reservoir configured to contain a product, the reservoir being connected to a first downstream duct configured to convey the product to a mixing area; a first tank configured to contain a clear liquid, the first tank being connected to a first upstream duct configured to convey clear liquid to the reservoir so that the clear liquid flushes the reservoir, forming a grey liquid;
the system wherein the first downstream duct comprises an element configured to direct the grey liquid to at least a second tank connected to a second downstream duct configured to convey the grey liquid to the mixing area.

A UAV is disclosed, comprising a robotic arm having an upper arm portion and a lower arm portion configured to articulate relative to each other in a vertical plane. The articulation is remotely actuated, enabling controlled movement of the robotic arm for various tasks. The UAV may further include features such as an antagonistic actuation mechanism, additional actuators for horizontal movement, an end effector for interacting with objects, a camera for detecting targets, and a control system for autonomous operation. A system for autonomous operation may include a station for battery swapping or recharging. Methods of commercially exploiting the UAV, robotic arm, or associated build kits and instructions are also disclosed. The invention is particularly suited for applications where budget-friendly construction is desired, such as in the toy industry, or where many instances of the invention are needed to perform the possible work, such as pest control in agricultural settings. A mechanism for decoupling components from the UAV body's rotation reduces the moment forces that propellers need to overcome for roll and pitch adjustments, allowing for smaller motors and a lighter, safer, and cheaper design.

A system (10) for treating produce includes an application system (12) for applying a treatment liquid to the produce. A piston pump (20) is connected in liquid flow receiving communication with a source of treatment liquid (16), and also is connected in liquid flow expelling communication with an application line (18) leading to the application system. A control system (22) controls the operation of the piston pump to pump a selected dosage of the treatment liquid from the source of treatment liquid (16) to the application system (12).

A chemigation system can be easily integrated into existing irrigation systems. The chemigation system can include a primary controller that can be installed near the irrigation controller of the irrigation system. The chemigation system can also include a secondary controller that can be installed near a valve assembly of the irrigation system. The primary controller and secondary controller can leverage the existing irrigation wire of the irrigation system to intercommunicate for purposes of controlling the injection of chemicals into the irrigation water and controlling an actuator for a valve of the valve assembly.
