This thesis is driven by the motivation to explore a way of working collaboratively that closely reflects the World Wide Web (WWW), more specifically the potential of the Web architecture built on Semantic Web technologies and Linked Data. The goal is to describe a generic approach and architecture that satisfies the needs for loose collaboration and collective knowledge construction as exemplified by the applications described in this thesis. This thesis focuses on a contribution-centric architecture which allows for flexible applications that support loose forms of collaboration. The first research question deals with how Web-based collective knowledge construction can be supported. The second research question explores the characteristics of collective knowledge construction with respect to the Open World Assumption (OWA). The OWA implies that complete knowledge about a subject cannot be assumed at any time, which is one of the most fundamental properties of the WWW. The third research question investigates how Semantic Web technologies be used in order to support such a contribution-centric architecture. The thesis and its underlying publications are of a technical character and are always grounded in theoretical models and considerations that have led to functional implementations. The research has evolved in iterative development processes and was explicitly directed at building applications that can be used in collaborative settings and that are based on standardized Web technologies. One of the main outcomes, an information model, was developed together with such an application and provides a number of novel approaches in the context in which it was designed. The validity of the presented research is supported by evaluations from different perspectives: a list of implemented applications and showcases, results from structured interviews that have investigated the suitability for various resource annotation processes, as well as scalability aspects. The thesis concludes that it is ultimately up to the application how "loose" the collaboration should be and to which extent the OWA is incorporated. The presented architecture provides a toolkit to support the development of loosely collaborative applications. The showcased applications allow the construction of collaborative conceptual models and to collaboratively annotate educational resources. They show the potential of the used technology stack and the introduced contribution-centric architecture that sits on top if it. / <p>QC 20140417</p>

The automotive industry today is getting more and more competitive with accelerating demand to attract car consumer with new technologies. Three-dimensional user interfaces (3D UIs) support user tasks in many non-traditional interactive systems such as augmented reality and virtual environments. Although 3D UI researchers and developers have been successfully identified basic user tasks, evaluating the usability of 3D interaction techniques, as well as finding an improvement of the usability of many applications, the researches and developments are still in the direction of finding better approaches and to be more innovative to fulfill the demands in the context of automotive user interface. The concept of a framework presented in this master thesis is to integrate technology of the Qt framework that is widely used for traditional 2D interfaces on different platforms and operating systems with the availability of open sources in order to realize the goal of having the ability to import the external 3D asset completely, specifically in FBX format by Autodesk that is widely used in the automotive industry. In addition, QML as part of the Qt framework that include JavaScript as an easy Object-Oriented scheme to manipulate object properties such as position and color of the graphical object is also integrated. The main aim of the framework is to have a full access to the imported FBX asset that is created by digital content creation applications such as Autodesk 3Ds Max or Autodesk Maya and visualize them within the Qt framework. With the newest technology of the Qt framework, it seems to be a promising solution to develop an interactive user interface. Hence, the framework approach of this master thesis is based on the Qt framework and Qt3D 2.0, in order to satisfy the requirements and introduces a solution to satisfy the demands in multimedia and 3D user experiences in the automotive industry. In the last fifteen years, Qt has proven as a robust development environment that produces powerful and stable software applications. Together with the abilities of Qt3D 2.0 that offers several abstract ways to control the rendering setup that helps the framework to realize the aim of this master thesis. This master thesis contains a detailed specification and concept for the development of a framework for 3D dynamic user interface application in vehicles. As the result of this master thesis, some typical use cases for automotive industry are realized as prototype applications in order to prove that the framework has the ability to load the 3D asset, specifically in FBX format, into the Qt framework and rendered together with the components of the Qt framework as an interactive and dynamic 3D user interface.

Thesis (MScAgric)--Stellenbosch University, 2011. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Localized calcium (Ca) deficiencies frequently develop independent from total Ca supply and total fruit Ca concentration. Bulk mineral analyses is therefore not completely suitable for determination of the susceptibility of fruit in developing Ca-linked fruit physiological disorders like bitter pit, as it supplies insufficient information regarding the spatial accumulation of Ca within the fruit. Additional Ca is applied either as soil or foliar applications, where soil applications are applied either after fruit set (pre-harvest) or in the period after harvest. The contribution of these different methods of Ca application to the total Ca concentration in "Braeburn" fruit was quantified over three consecutive growing seasons. Foliar applications have been proven to be successful in suppressing bitter pit development and improving the Ca status of the fruit. The effectiveness of different formulations of foliar Ca products in influencing these parameters was also determined. Furthermore, the distribution pattern of fruit Ca resulting from different application strategies was mapped using particle induced X-ray emission technology. In the "Braeburn" trial, mineral analyses indicated no significant differences between treatments in terms of Ca concentration at 80 days after full bloom (dafb). However, when soil applications occurred with active root growth (visually monitored), treatments differed significantly 80 dafb. Weekly foliar Ca applications from 28 dafb resulted in higher fruit Ca concentrations 80 dafb than a pre-harvest soil Ca application (January, 2010). A possible explanation for the inefficiency of pre-harvest soil Ca is the disintegration of xylem vessels from 40 dafb (before root uptake) for sensitive cultivars such as Braeburn. Bitter pit initiation has been shown to occur in the earlier part of the season. This, together with a reduced Ca supply to the fruit early in the season due to xylem disintegration (for sensitive cultivars), indicates the importance of early season foliar Ca applications. PIXE analyses were used to establish the radial Ca distribution in apples. Ca was concentrated in the skin and core, with very low values in the outer cortex. PIXE results indicated fruit Ca concentrations to be the lowest in the pre-harvest soil application treatment. This was in agreement with mineral analyses results. Ca enriched areas resulting from effective Ca delivery via the vascular bundles, had a profound effect on fruit Ca concentrations in the immediate core and cortex. At harvest, this effect was much more subtle and emphasizes the importance of untimely xylem rupturing on eventual fruit Ca concentration. At 80 dafb, treatments where foliar Ca was applied showed higher Ca concentrations in the outer cortex (where symptoms of bitter pit typically occur). Calflo™ fruit had significantly higher Ca concentrations in "Braeburn" compared to fruits from Foliar GS™ and GG™ treatments. Calflo™ and Calcimax™ had a higher active Ca percentage (12%) compared to Foliar GSTM and GGTM (10%). Adding the Lecithin™ (surfactant) to Calcimax™ is not recommended as it did not improve its uptake. In "Golden Delicious", the commercial spray program of seven, weekly foliar applications (Calcinit™) resulted in fruit with significantly higher Ca concentrations compared to other treatments. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Kalsium (Ca) tekorte ontstaan gewoonlik in gelokaliseerde areas in die appelvrug en ontwikkel dikwels ten spyte van voldoende totale vrug Ca. Minerale analises van heel vrugte verskaf dus nie genoeg inligting aangaande die verspreiding van Ca in die vrug wanneer die ontwikkelling van fisiologiese defekte soos bitterpit ter sprake is nie. Addisionele Ca word gewoonlik aangewend as blaar- of grondtoedienings, waar grondtoedienings tipies voor-oes (net na set) of in die na-oes periode, toegedien word. Die bydraes van die verskillende toedieningsmetodes tot die totale Ca konsentrasie van "Braeburn" appels is geëvalueer oor drie agtereenvolgende seisoene. Blaartoedienings van Ca word algemeen gebruik om die voorkoms van bitterpit te beheer en die Ca konsentrasie van die vrug te verhoog. Die effektiwiteit van `n reeks blaartoedienings-produkte om hierdie faktore te verbeter, is ook ondersoek. Die spesifieke verspreiding van die Ca in die vrug is gekarteer na gelang van elke toediening deur middel van PIXE-analises (Particle induced X-ray emission). In die "Braeburn" proef was daar geen beduidende verskille in terme van vrug Ca konsentrasie op 80 dnvb (dae na volblom) nie. Daarteenoor, was daar wel beduidende verskille by 80 dnvb toe grond toedienings saam met aktiewe wortelgroei geskied het (visuele inspeksie). Weeklikse blaartoedienings vanaf 21 dnvb het gelei tot vrugte met betekenisvol hoër Ca konsentrasies as die behandeling waar grondtoedienings slegs voor-oes geskied het (Januarie 2010). `n Moontlike oorsaak vir die oneffektiwiteit van voor-oes grondtoedings is die vroeë disintigrasie van xileem vesels in die vrug (soms voor 40 dnvb en voor die aanvang van wortelopname) in sensitiewe kultivars soos "Braeburn". Hierdie vroeë inhibering van Ca voorsiening, tesame met die vroeë inisiasie van bitterpit, beklemtoon die belangrikheid van blaarbespuitings vroeg in die seisoen. Die PIXE-analises wat aangewend is om die radiale verspreiding van Ca in die vrug te bepaal het getoon dat Ca meestal in die skil en kern van die vrug gekonsentreer was, met baie lae konsentrasies in die buitenste korteks. Die laagste Ca konsentrasies is waargeneem in vrugte van die behandeling waar voor-oes Ca slegs as `n grondtoediening geskied het. Hierdie waarneming is in ooreenstemming met die mineraalanalise resultate. Ca verykte areas, afkomstig van die naby geleë vaatbundels (xileem vesels), het egter die grootste effek op vrug Ca konsentrasie gehad. Hierdie effek was nie so groot by oes nie en beklemtoon dus die belangrikheid van die funksionaliteit van die vaatbundels. Blaartoedienings kon die Ca konsentrasie in die buitenste korteks suksesvol verhoog - waar simptome van bitterpit tipies voorkom. Die Calflo™ behandeling het beduidende hoër Ca konsentrasies gehad as die Foliar GS™ en GG™ behandelings. Die Calflo™ en Calcimax™ behandelings het `n hoër aktiewe Ca persentasie (12%) relatief tot die Foliar GS™ en GG™ (10%) behandelings bevat. Die byvoeging van Lecithin™ by Calcimax™ word nie aanbeveel nie, omdat dit geensins Ca opname vermeerder het nie. In die "Golden Delicious" proef het die kommersiële behandeling (Sewe weeklikse spuite van Calcinit™) gelei tot vrugte met die hoogste Ca konsentrasie van al die behandelings.

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF BRENT C. SUNDERLAGE, for the Master of Science degree in Plant, Soil, and Agricultural Systems, presented on March 8, 2017, at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. TITLE: LATE APPLICATION NITROGEN ON CORN IN SOUTHERN ILLINOIS AND SOIL PROPERTIES AFFECTING AMMONIA VOLATILIZATION FROM UREA FERTILIZER MAJOR PROFESSOR: Dr. Rachel L. Cook In corn (Zea mays L.) production systems, typical nitrogen fertilization occurs either before planting or after crop emergence, as late as the V6 stage. Since the majority of nitrogen uptake does not occur until V10 through R1, delaying nitrogen fertilization until V10 may reduce potential for early season soil N transformations and losses, while sustaining crop yields. A two-year study, conducted across three southern Illinois locations, evaluated the effects of various late sidedress nitrogen applications and enhanced efficiency fertilizers on corn yield and residual mineral soil N. The various nitrogen treatments compared: rates from 0-224 kg N ha-1; sources of urea and 32% UAN, with and without urease inhibitors 0.09% N-(n-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT) as Agrotain® Ultra (AT) and 0.06% NBPT + 0.02% N-(n-propyl) thiophosphoric triamide (NPPT) as Limus® (L), and polymer-coated urea (ESN®); application timings at planting, V6, V10, and VT; placement either dribble applied, broadcasted, or injected. Across sites and years, late (V10) nitrogen split applications generally resulted in corn yields greater than or equal to the same total nitrogen rate applied at planting. Most late N treatment differences varied between sites and years, but 56 kg N ha-1 as broadcasted UAN at planting with 112 kg N ha-1 as broadcasted urea, either with or without AT or L at V10 were on average highest yielding treatments among sites in both years, with 16% greater yield than 168 kg N ha-1 as broadcasted UAN at planting. Urease inhibitors did not enhance yield in most instances, likely due to sufficient incorporating rainfall shortly after application. The effects of urease inhibitors used with late-application nitrogen on corn yield and actual ammonia volatilization remained ambiguous. Residual soil mineral nitrogen concentrations between 0-30 cm after harvest in the late nitrogen treatments did not elicit water quality concerns. Furthermore, ammonia volatilization from surface applied urea is controlled by many interrelated soil properties as well as environmental conditions. However, conclusions about the influence of soil properties on ammonia volatilization differ according to geographies and are not well established across a wide range of soil types. A laboratory soil incubation experiment measured the effects of soil properties on ammonia volatilization over 7 days from surface-applied urea and the efficacy of three urease inhibitors: Agrotain® Ultra (AT) as 0.09% NBPT, Limus® (L) as 0.06% NBPT + 0.02% NPPT, and NutriSphere-N® (NS) 30% calcium salt of maleic-itaconic copolymer among 83 soil surface samples from across the United States with a wide range of soil properties. The soil properties evaluated were: total exchange capacity, 1:1 CaCl2 pH, organic matter, buffering capacity, clay content, and urease activity. In Urea (R2 = 0.69) and Urea + NS (R2 = 0.62) models, total exchange capacity, clay, and buffering capacity significantly reduced ammonia volatilization, and organic matter significantly increased ammonia volatilization, while 1:1 CaCl2 pH and urease activity were non-significant. Clay, organic matter, and buffering capacity were correlated to total exchange capacity. Total exchange capacity was the strongest predictor and best consolidated variable to predict N loss of urea. In Urea + AT (R2 = 0.54) and Urea + L (R2 = 0.67) models, ammonia volatilization was significantly reduced at lower 1:1 CaCl2 pH and total exchange capacity, and all other soil properties were non-significant. The NBPT in Urea + AT and Urea + L likely decayed more rapidly under acidic soil conditions, resulting reduced NBPT efficacy and greater N loss at lower pH. Urea + AT and Urea + L reduced volatilization significantly by 18.2 percentage points compared to Urea or Urea + NS, and there were no significant differences between Urea + AT and Urea + L (α = 0.05). On average, NutriSphere-N® did not reduce volatilization.

Ce mémoire présente la synthèse et la caractérisation du matériau composite Ce-TZP/Al2O3 et l’étude de ce matériau dans une mise en forme par impression 3D de type stéréolithographie (SLA). Le matériau Ce-TZP présente une résistance au vieillissement en milieu aqueux (par transformation martensitique de la phase tétragonale vers la phase monoclinique) accrue en comparaison à Y-TZP. L’ajout d’alumine (Al2O3) comme seconde phase confère au matériau des propriétés mécaniques (résistance à la flexion en particulier) similaires à Y-TZP. La mise en forme par SLA offre la possibilité de fabriquer des objets avec des structures complexes tout en limitant l’utilisation et la perte de matière en comparaison à la fabrication soustractive, bien connue dans le domaine dentaire.Le composite Ce-TZP/Al2O3 a été synthétisé à partir d’une poudre Ce-TZP à laquelle est ajoutée de l’Al2O3 selon deux protocoles : la méthode Pechini modifiée et la méthode Isopropoxyde. Les études dilatométriques et microstructurales des composites ont montré que le matériau obtenu selon la méthode Isopropoxyde était plus homogène. Cette synthèse a donc été sélectionnée pour réaliser l’étude du frittage. Les conditions optimales résultants de cette étude (rampe de 300 °C/h, T°palier de 1500 °C pendant 1h, air), permettent d’atteindre une densité relative de l’ordre de 98% avec une taille de grains submicronique pour les deux phases.Des formulations photoréticulables sous exposition UV, chargées avec ce composite ainsi qu’avec le matériau de référence Y-TZP, ont été développées et étudiées afin de pouvoir mettre en forme ces matériaux par SLA. Avant utilisation dans le procédé, les formulations ont été caractérisées d’un point de vue rhéologique, thermique et également d’un point de vue de la réactivité sous exposition UV. Ces caractérisations ont permis de déterminer l’influence de la nature et de la taille des particules sur la réactivité principalement, paramètre également gouvernée par la composition des résines et notamment par le système amorceur, composé de un ou plusieurs photoinitiateur(s). Pour finir, les pièces fabriquées par SLA ont été frittées et caractérisées d’un point de vue mécanique et microstructural. / This thesis presents the synthesis and characterization of Ce-TZP/Al2O3 composite material and the study of this material in stereolithography process (SLA). Ce-TZP material exhibits an enhanced resistance to low temperature degradation (materialized by the tetragonal/monoclinic phase transformation) compared to Y-TZP. The addition of alumina (Al2O3) as a second phase gives to the material mechanical properties (especially flexural strength) similar to Y-TZP. SLA shaping offers the ability to make objects with complex structures while limiting the use and loss of material compared to subtractive manufacturing, well known in the dental field.The Ce-TZP/Al2O3 composite was synthesized from a Ce-TZP powder mixed with Al2O3 added according to two protocols: the modified Pechini method and the Isopropoxide method. The dilatometric and microstructural studies of the composites have showed that the material obtained by the Isopropoxide method was more homogeneous. This synthesis was therefore selected to carry out the sintering study. The optimal conditions resulting from this study (heating rate of 300 °C/h, T°soak of 1500 °C for 1h, air) allow to reach a relative density of 98 % with a submicron grain size for the two phases.Photocurable under UV exposure formulations, loaded with this composite as well as with the reference material Y-TZP, have been developed and studied in order to be able to shape these materials by SLA. Prior to use in the process, the formulations were characterized from a rheological, thermal and also from a viewpoint of reactivity under UV exposure. These characterizations made it possible to determine the influence of the nature and the size of the particles on the reactivity mainly, also governed by the composition of the resins and in particular by the initiator system, composed of one or more photoinitiator(s). Finally, the parts manufactured by SLA were sintered and characterized from a mechanical and microstructural point of view.

Porém, para garantir a eficácia da aplicação, alguns fatores devem ser considerados, como a calda, o elemento gerador de gotas e o fluxo de ar, pois estes irão influenciar no espectro de gotas formado e, consequentemente, no risco de ocorrer deriva. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi avaliar a influência de diferentes adjuvantes nas características físicas das caldas contendo fungicida, analisando-se o espectro de gotas formado em função de cada ângulo de deflexão de uma ponta de pulverização aérea CP-03, buscando um indicativo de utilização dessas técnicas quanto à qualidade e segurança das aplicações. Foram avaliadas quatro caldas, sendo uma calda com fungicida, e outras três com as misturas do fungicida com cada um dos adjuvantes: um multifuncional; um óleo vegetal; e um óleo mineral. A aplicação aérea foi simulada através de um ventilador de alta capacidade, com velocidade média de vento de 180 km h-1. Na saída deste ventilador foi acoplada a ponta de pulverização CP-03, e a pulverização foi simulada com taxa de aplicação de 20 L ha-1 e pressão de 200 kPa. Todas as caldas foram pulverizadas com os três ângulos defletores da ponta (30°, 55° e 90°) e o espectro de gotas foi determinado utilizando-se um equipamento analisador de partículas em tempo real posicionado na frente do simulador (VisiSizer portátil - Oxford Lasers Ltd / UK). Entre as caldas que continham o fungicida mais um dos adjuvantes, a calda composta pelo fungicida e o adjuvante multifuncional apresentou os maiores valores de diâmetro mediano volumétrico (DMV) e menores valores percentuais de gotas menores que 100 µm (V100), com todos os ângulos defletores da ponta de pulverização CP-03, posicionando-se como melhor técnica de redução de deriva. A adição de óleo mineral a calda proporcionou o menor valor de DMV e maior valor de V100, quando comparado às outras caldas. Com relação ao potencial de redução do risco de deriva o ângulo defletor de 30°, ofereceu o melhor potencial com todas as caldas avaliadas. / Due to the necessary of a greater operational efficiency during applications of plant health products in crops, agricultural aviation has been an important option for several crops. However, to ensure the effectiveness of the application, some factors must be considered as the spray formulation, the nozzles and the air flow, as these will influence the droplet spectrum formed and, consequently, the risk of spray drift. Based on this subject, the objective of this research was to evaluate the influence of different adjuvants on the physical characteristics of the spray mixture with the behavior of the droplet spectrum formed as a function of each deflection angle of the aerial spray tip CP-03 and to find an indicative of which of them are more suitable for reducing the risk of spray drift. Four spray formulations were evaluated, one spray solution with fungicide, and the other three sprays with a mix of each of the adjuvants containing fungicide, the first one surfactant, the second one mineral oil and the third one a vegetable oil. The aerial application was simulated through a high capacity fan with a high‐speed airstreams of 180 km h-1 . At the outlet of this fan the spray tip CP-03 was coupled, and the spraying was simulated with application rate of 20 L ha -1 and pressure of 200 kPa. All spray formulations were tested by three deflecting angles (30 °, 55 ° and 90 °) and the droplet spectrum was determined using a real-time particle analyzer positioned in front of the simulator (VisiSizer portable - Oxford Lasers Ltd / UK). Between the mixture that contained the fungicide over one of the adjuvants, the mix made by the fungicide and the adjuvant-one presented the highest values of volumetric medianum diameter (VDM) and lower percentage values of droplets smaller than 100 µm (V100), with all deflecting angles tip CP-03, positioning itself as the best technique of reducing spray drift. The addition of mineral oil the mix provided the lowest value of VDM and greater value of V100, when compared to the other mixture. With respect to the potential for reducing the risk of spray drift the deflector angle of 30°, offered the best potential with all the evaluated.

CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / A cajucultura, como atividade de importÃncia econÃmica para o Nordeste brasileiro, vem passando por um perÃodo de decrÃscimo de produtividade, muito por causa do regime extrativista empregado no seu cultivo e pela falta de um mÃnimo de tÃcnicas de manejo de produÃÃo, dentre eles o controle de pragas. Muitos sÃo os fatores que influenciam na eficiÃncia de uma aplicaÃÃo de defensivos, porem grande parte dos produtores dÃo mais importÃncia ao produto aplicado que a forma como ele à aplicado. Definir o volume adequado de calda a ser aplicado na copa de culturas arbÃreas à uma tarefa difÃcil, devido a variabilidade existente entre os cultivos. O conceito de TRV (Tree Row Volume) surgiu como uma forma de adequar a quantidade de calda a ser aplicada em funÃÃo do volume da copa da cultura. Objetivou-se com este trabalho avaliar a deposiÃÃo de calda e corante na folha do cajueiro e as perdas de corante e calda para o solo em aplicaÃÃes em oito taxas de aplicaÃÃo, sendo quatro dessas taxas aplicadas com um turboatomizador, trÃs com um equipamento costal motorizado e uma com equipamento costal manual. O experimento foi conduzindo em uma Ãrea de cajueiro anÃo precoce localizada no municÃpio de PacajÃs-CE. Para as aplicaÃÃes, as taxas dos equipamentos foram regulados, onde para o turboatomizador foram realizadas regulagens na orientaÃÃo do fluxo de ar, taxa de aplicaÃÃo e do perfil de distribuiÃÃo vertical da calda, para os equipamentos costal manual e costal motorizado foram feitas a regulagem das taxas de aplicaÃÃo. Os testes de deposiÃÃo de calda e corante na copa do cajueiro foram conduzidos no delineamento experimental de faixas, onde os tratamentos principais foram oito taxas de aplicaÃÃo, sendo quatro destas aplicadas com o turboatomizador (100%, 85%, 70% e 50% da taxa de aplicaÃÃo de referencia), trÃs pelo pulverizador costal motorizado (nÃvel 6, entre o nÃvel 3 e 4 e o nÃvel 1 do controlador de vazÃo) e uma com o pulverizador costal manual, os tratamentos secundÃrios foram os seis pontos de coletas na copa do cajueiro. Os testes de perdas de corante e de calda para o solo foram conduzidos no delineamento de blocos, onde os tratamentos foram as oito taxas de aplicaÃÃo utilizados nos testes de deposiÃÃo na copa. A deposiÃÃo de calda na copa da cultura se deu de forma crescente a medida que se aumentou a taxa de aplicaÃÃo, apresentando uma maior concentraÃÃo na parte lateral da copa da cultura. Maiores valores de deposito de corante foram encontrados nos tratamentos com o pulverizador costal motorizado com regulador de vazÃo no nÃvel 6 e entre os nÃveis 3 e 4, nas aplicaÃÃes com o turboatomizador uma maior deposiÃÃo de corante foi encontrada nos tratamentos com 70% e 55% da taxa de aplicaÃÃo de referÃncia. As aplicaÃÃes com o turboatomizador apresentaram maior uniformidade de distribuiÃÃo de corante nos pontos de coleta em relaÃÃo aos equipamentos costal motorizado e costal manual. Maiores perdas de calda foram encontradas a medida que se aumentou a taxa de aplicaÃÃo, com exceÃÃo da aplicaÃÃo com o equipamento costal manual. Maiores perdas da corante foram encontradas nas aplicaÃÃes com o equipamento costal manual, seguido das aplicaÃÃes com o turboatomizador e com o pulverizador costal motorizado. As aplicaÃÃes com equipamento costal motorizado com regulador de vazÃo no nÃvel 6 e entre os nÃveis 3 e 4 se mostraram mais eficiente em depositar calda na cultura do cajueiro, para as aplicaÃÃes com o turboatomizador a taxa da aplicaÃÃo com 55% da taxa da aplicaÃÃo de referÃncia se mostrou mais eficiente em depositar corante e com menores perdas. Pode-se concluir que a deposiÃÃo na folha e perda para o solo de calda à maior quanto maior a taxa, porÃm a deposiÃÃo de corante na folha à maior no equipamento costal motorizado e a maior perda de corante para o solo se dà na aplicaÃÃo com o equipamento costal manual. / The cashew cultivation as an activity of economic importance for the Brazilian Northeast, has been going for a period of decline in productivity, largely because of the extractive scheme employed in its cultivation and the lack of minimal technical management of production factors, among them pest control. There are many factors that influence the effectiveness of a pesticide application, however much the producers give more importance to the applied product that the form how it is applied. Set the appropriate water volume to be applied in the canopy of tree crops is a difficult task due to the variability between crops. The concept of TRV has emerged as a way to adjust the amount of syrup to be applied depending on the volume of the canopy. The objective of this study was to evaluate the deposition of dye and syrup in the cashew leaf and losses of dye and syrup for ground applications in eight application rates, with four of those rates applied air carrier sprayer with a three with a motorized knapsack equipment and a manual knapsack with equipment. The experiment was driving in an area of dwarf cashew localized in Pacajus - CE. The adjustment of application equipment used at work for the air carrier sprayer was made adjustments were made in the direction of air flow, application rate and the vertical distribution profile of the syrup to the knapsack and motorized knapsack equipment of the adjustment were made application rates. Tests of spray deposition and dye in cup cashew were conducted in experimental design tracks in a split plot design where the main treatments were eight application rates, four of which applied to the air carrier sprayer (100%, 85%, 70% and 50% of the application rate of reference), three by motorized knapsack sprayer (level 6, between level 3 and 4 and level 1 flow controller) and one with manual knapsack, secondary treatments were the six points collections in the cup cashew. Tests for loss of dye and syrup to soil were conducted in the experimental design of tracks, where treatments were eight application rates used in the tests deposition in the cup. The spray deposition on the cup occurred incrementally measure that increased the rate of application, with a higher concentration at the side of the cup. Higher values of deposit of dye were found in treatments with motorized knapsack sprayer with flow regulator at level 6 and between levels 3 and 4, the air carrier sprayer applications with greater deposition of dye was found in the treatments with 70 % and 55 % the rate of application of reference. The applications with the air carrier sprayer showed greater uniformity of dye at collection points in relation to motorized and manual equipment costal rib. Greater losses of the syrup as it increased the rate of application, with the exception of the application with knapsack equipment were found. Greater losses of dye were found in applications with manual knapsack equipment, followed by the air carrier sprayer applications and motorized knapsack sprayer. Applications with motorized knapsack equipment with flow regulator at level 6 and between levels 3 and 4 were more efficient in depositing the crop cashew dye, for applications with the air carrier sprayer application rate with 55 % of the rate of application of reference is more efficient in depositing dye and with smaller losses. It can be concluded that the deposition in the leaf and loss to the soil is greater the higher the rate, but the deposition of dye on the leaf is higher in motorized knapsack sprayer and more loss of dye to the ground occurs in the application equipment knapsack.tr
