A hydraulic pump connected to and powered by a power take-off (PTO) shaft, typically found on tractors or other agricultural vehicles, is employed to pressurize and deliver liquid, such as herbicides or pesticides, through a nozzle system for agricultural applications. This mechanism allows for consistent and adjustable application rates, critical for effective and efficient crop treatment.
The application of this technology offers significant advantages in large-scale agriculture, enabling precise dispensing of agricultural chemicals. This precision reduces chemical waste, minimizes environmental impact, and optimizes crop protection. The development of this technology represented a substantial advancement from earlier, less efficient methods of applying agricultural chemicals, like manual hand-pumping, enabling increased productivity and improved crop yields.
