Sentidos de aplica？？o e pontas de pulveriza？？o no percentual de cobertura em alvos artificiais, para diferentes situa？？es de orienta？？o de alvo e vento

several factors influence the efficiency of the application: weather, equipment, chemical products, target and moment of application. another aspect is the uniformity of the spray in different leave surfaces, because it influences in the absorption, translocation and control of the biological agents by contact products. the aim of this paper was to study the effect of different spray directions and nozzle in the percentage of coverage at artificial target (upper and lower faces) to six different situations about target orientation and wind. the artificial target was cardstock paper. it was realized six different experiments or situations: target orientation, in relation to the soil plan, (horizontal - 0th, inclined - 45th and vertical - 90th) x wind (0 e 10km h-1). for each situation, it was study six applications: three directions (top to bottom, side and bottom to up) x two nozzles (sf 110-02 e ld 110-02). it was evaluated the percentage of coverage in the two faces of the artificial target. based on this, the experimental design was factorial (spray direction x nozzle x target face) to each situation of target orientation and wind. the results indicate that surfaces opposite to the direction spray receive lower levels of coverage in relation to the surfaces turned to the spray, and that in the surfaces turned to the spray on the inclined (45th) and vertical (90th) orientation the sf 110-02 nozzle promoted higher percentages of coverage, independently of the wind.
