Many institutes and companies are performing spray trials for registration of chemicals in their own country. Many specialized sprayers have been built to satisfy the needs of the many institutes, companies and researchers to be able to spray small plots. None of these sprayers has the ability to register how much liquid has been sprayed over a plot. Therefore, to assist the operator a small monitor has been designed to register the amount sprayed over a plot. The monitor allows registering the sprayed amount, the average flow rate, the maximum flow rate (as an indicator of the stability of the spray action) and the time that was used to spray this plot with a precision of 1%. With the last parameter and the length of the plot, the average walking/spraying speed can be calculated. The monitor has a memory of 500 plots. All data can be transferred to a PC.
