This research explores the critical technical parameters governing the efficacy of liquid chemical application via agricultural drones. The study focuses on the atomization process, specifically the Volume Median Diameter (VMD) of droplets measured in microns, and how the effective spray width influences overall operational productivity. By examining the correlation between centrifugal nozzle speed and droplet dispersion, the paper identifies the optimal settings to maximize leaf coverage while mitigating the risks of chemical drift and evaporation. The findings provide a technical framework for improving precision in aerial crop protection.
