Farm Machinery for Spraying and Dusting CropsPaperback, 20 January 2011

The development of farming machinery revolutionised agriculture, allowing for far greater yields with less manpower. This volume explores early examples of farm machinery used for dusting and spraying crops, with detailed descriptions and explanations as to how they worked. Highly recommended for those with an interest in the history and development of modern agricultural machinery. Contents include: "Agricultural Tools And Machinery", "Spraying And Dusting", "Atomizing Devices", "Pumps For Sprayers", "Agitation Of Spray Materials", "Field Sprayers", "High-Pressure Orchard Sprayers", "Blower-Sprayers", "Aircraft Sprayers And Dusters", "References", "Problems", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on agricultural tools and machinery.
