Abstract

Most Jeju citrus orchards use a dense planting method in which trees are planted densely to pursue high productivity and yield. However, since this method is difficult to mechanize and automate pest control, the dependence on manual work increases. Fruit crops require frequent pesticide spraying due to the high incidence of pests, but this intensive cultivation method adds to the inconvenience of agricultural work and increases worker exposure during pesticide spraying. It also reduces the light absorption area and reduces crop and fruit quality. In this study, various experiments were conducted by applying a small unmanned high-speed spreader along with fruit tree pruning in a densely planted orchard environment. The pesticide spraying amount and spraying time were compared with manual control to evaluate the pesticide spraying effect and efficiency at the farm level. In the existing control group, the pesticide attachment rate was the highest when using a small unmanned speed spreader on a 1.5m wide road built in a 2.7m x 2.7m dense orchard, and the external attachment rate was 97.1%, the internal adhesion rate was the highest at 93.5%. The pesticide spraying time of the small unmanned high-speed spreader was 13 seconds per tree and the amount of pesticide was 6 L per tree, whereas the conventional manual control spraying time was 21 seconds per tree and the amount of pesticide was 7.6 L per tree. Therefore, when using an unmanned high-speed spreader by pruning a 1.5m path in a dense orchard, the time for spraying chemicals is reduced by 38.09% and the amount of insecticide sprayed by 21.05%, which is an effective insecticide spraying method.
