Hello,
As a boy I remember large trucks spraying for mosquitos with such equipment (60's). They would drive along the street and direct the continuous air blast with spray into the wooded area.
Doesn't the air blast method evaporate out the moisture on hot dry summer days?
Later,
tom

I use a one gallon sprayer with the spray tip opened all the way

powered leaf blower. The spray is then turned into a mist that will
reach into the tops of any fruit tree. This mini blast sprayer works
with all spray material. DanHello everyone,
While visiting a chemical company's orchard test site a few years back I saw a system like Dans being used for controlled close quarters spraying. They used a back mounter leaf blower with a mist nozzle in the air output tube. Worked well.
Dan sure knows how to make one feel slightly ill. I just paid $4,000 for a PTO air blast sprayer.
