Which pesticide application equipment uses air as a medium to transport pesticides to the target?

The mist blower is specifically designed to utilize air as a medium for transporting pesticides. This equipment produces a mist or aerosol of pesticide droplets that are carried by a stream of air and directed toward the target area. The use of air minimizes drift and allows for the effective application of pesticides in treating various pests, particularly in orchard and forestry applications.

Mist blowers are advantageous because they can reach difficult areas and ensure that the pesticide reaches its intended target more efficiently. This equipment's reliance on air helps in dispersing the pesticide uniformly, especially when targeting large foliage or dense canopies.

In contrast, other types of application equipment mentioned do not primarily rely on air as their means of transport. High-pressure sprayers typically utilize pressurized liquid to propel the pesticide directly. Low-pressure sprayers with booms operate by distributing pesticides through the use of hydraulic pressure and are not designed to use air for transport. Ground foggers also rely on creating a fog of pesticide but do so through other mechanisms rather than primarily using air as the transport medium like a mist blower does.
