Acoustics applied in precision agriculture

The purpose of this work is to present a new methodology to be applied in precision agriculture. In order to replace traditional methods, that are expensive, affect the environment and must be improved, it is presented the equipment and process of phytosanitary management using acoustic vibration in order to obtain correct application of product. The methodology is presented, in two case study: i) sound influence at application and, ii) leaf superficial coverage using acoustical vibrations. Improvements are obtained such as the displacement of parasites that usually inhabit the lower surface of the leaves, reduction in the amount of phytosanitary product applied and improvement of the use of phytosanitary product when it is spread in the field.
