Abstract

A laboratory spray cabinet was constructed of stainless steel with three compartments for separate dosage applications. Overhead spraying is accomplished in all three compartments by a single mobile nozzle activated by an air cylinder and cable drive. The system was designed so that test compounds could be applied safely and accurately at various rates on plants up to 1 m high. The cabinet has an air exchange and filtration system to prevent possible contamination of spray equipment, untreated test materials and the atmosphere.
