Pesticide application is the practical way in which pesticides, (including fungicides, insecticides, herbicides or nematode control agents) are sprayed to their biological targets (eg. crop, pest, organism or other plant). Public distress about the use of pesticides has shown the need to make this process as efficient as possible, in order to minimize their release into the ecosystem and human exposure. One of the most common forms of pesticide application, considering conventional agriculture, is the use of mechanical sprayers. Hydraulic sprayers comprise of a tank, a lance (for single nozzles) or boom, a pump and a nozzle (single or multiple). Sprayers changes a pesticide formulation, generally containing a mixture of water (or another liquid chemical carrier, such as fertilizer) and chemical, into droplets, which can be tiny almost-invisible particles or large rain-type drops. This transformation is carried on by forcing the spray mixture through a spray nozzle with pressure. The size of droplets can be changed, by changing the pressure of nozzle under which it is forced, or by using different size of nozzle or a combination of both. Large droplets have the benefit of being less susceptible to spray drift, but they need more water per unit of land covered. By virtue of static electricity, small droplets are able to increase contact with a target organism, given that very still wind conditions exist.
