附：The pesticide application has being played a leading role in the control of plant pests, but the improper pesticide application causes a series of concerns which is one of the most imperative challenges for agro-forestry production, including resistance to pesticides, environmental pollution, limit acceptability of pesticide residues, etc. Therefore, the pesticide application technology has been widely studied around the world.

This Special Issue focuses on building a community of authors and readers to discuss the latest research experiences and develop new ideas and research directions. As the environment-friendly and intelligent pesticide application technology is of crucial importance, this issue will include the identification of pests targets, pesticide spraying and dusting, pesticide injection, pesticide mopping and painting, fumigation treatment, pests baits application, and pesticide seed treatment. Certainly, it will include the key technologies for pesticide spraying system, such as atomizing and nozzles, inline mixing, variable-rate technology, droplet drift control, electrostatic spraying, and intelligent profiling and targeting spraying.

The Special Issue will create a collection of papers on the “Pesticide Application Technology in Cropping Systems”. We would like to invite scholars and researchers to contribute original and high-quality research articles, review articles as well as cutting-edge research opinions to the journal Agriculture peer-reviewed Special Issue.

Keywords: Pest control, plant protection machinery, pesticide application technology, intelligent spraying system, variable-rate technology, pesticide atomizing and nozzles, pesticide inline mixing, droplet drift control, electrostatic spraying, cropping system.
