Flit-gun sprayer characteristics

Six flit-gun sprayers were tested for possible use in mosquito adulticide programs where inexpensive nonmotorized application technology may be required. An analysis of variance for differences in droplets <= 24 microns (µ), droplets > or = 48 µ, droplets/cm², volume median diameters, and mosq...

Description
Summary:Six flit-gun sprayers were tested for possible use in mosquito adulticide programs where inexpensive nonmotorized application technology may be required. An analysis of variance for differences in droplets <= 24 microns (µ), droplets > or = 48 µ, droplets/cm², volume median diameters, and mosquito mortality is provided. As shown by these data, good results can be achieved with this equipment.
