The field experiments conducted in 2009 and 2010 show the large usefulness of the new application technique (supersonic jets with electrostatic loading) in agricultural practice. The electro-aerosol spraying was tested in treatments against european corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis Hbn.) in corn, pollen beetle (Meligethes aeneus) and cabbage seed weevil (Ceutorhynchus assimilis) in winter oilseed rape, and also was estimated the spray coverage of potato plants with fungicide during control of late blight (Phytophthora infestans). The possibility of the very good spray penetration in high, compact and condensed corn-fields gave new prospects for effective chemical protection of many agricultural crops. The usage of limited spray volume to approx. 40 l/ha as a very fine spray quality with the very large initial energy, and also the possibility of electrostatic load of the spray droplets, assures the attachment of plant protection product to the lower parts of plant canopy and on the bottom side of leaf blade. This permits more effective control of many agrophages (pests and diseases). The practical utilization of the sprayer prototype requires the improvement of even plant coverage by working liquid and higher economic utilization of machine power used for the drive of the sprayer.
