Pomegranate is a high-value fruit crop that requires proper care throughout its growing cycle. One of the most important activities in pomegranate farming is spraying pesticides, fungicides, and micronutrients to protect the fruit from pests and diseases. To ensure better results, Tractor Trailed and mounted sprayers are commonly used, especially in large farms.

In this article, we will explain the most effective spraying techniques for pomegranate orchards, and introduce you to the Mitra Airotec Turbo 600L – a powerful double-fan tractor sprayer designed to give excellent spray coverage in dense orchards.

Why Spraying Is Important in Pomegranate Farming

If not controlled at the right time, these pests can damage the crop and reduce yield. Also, pomegranate trees have dense foliage and wide canopies, which makes it difficult for sprays to reach every part of the plant using manual or traditional methods.

That’s where tractor-operated sprayers like the Mitra Airotec Turbo 600L come into the picture. These machines help cover large areas quickly, save water and pesticides, and give uniform spray coverage even in the inner parts of the plant.

Why Choose Tractor Sprayers for Pomegranate Orchards?

Here are some key reasons:

1.    High Efficiency: Tractor sprayers cover more area in less time, ideal for commercial farms.

2.    Better Penetration: Powerful air-assisted fans help spray reach deep into dense foliage.

3.    Uniform Coverage: Reduces the risk of under or over spraying.

4.    Less Wastage: Optimizes the use of costly pesticides and water.

5.    Labor Saving: Reduces dependency on manual labor.

Introducing Mitra Airotec Turbo 600L – Double Fan Sprayer

The Mitra Airotec Turbo 600L is specially designed for orchard crops like pomegranate and grapes. It comes with a double axial fan system that creates a strong air blast, helping the spray reach both sides of the tree canopy in a single pass.

Key Features of Mitra Airotec Turbo 600L:

• Double Fan Design: Ensures maximum air output for complete spray coverage.
• 600-liter tank: Ideal for medium to large orchards.
• Heavy-duty PTO drive: Efficiently powers the sprayer using tractor energy.
• Adjustable nozzles: Helps target the spray precisely to different crop heights.
• Strong, durable build: Suitable for rough field conditions.

This sprayer is designed for precision spraying, which is very important in pomegranate farms where the fruits grow in clusters and are easily affected by spray errors.

Effective Spraying Techniques Using Airotec Turbo 600L

Here are the best practices to follow when spraying pomegranate orchards using a tractor-mounted double-fan sprayer like the Mitra Airotec Turbo 600L:

1. Calibrate the Sprayer Before Use

Before starting, make sure to:

• Adjust Pressure & nozzle angles to suit tree height and canopy width.
• Set proper pressure and PTO speed.
• Use the right spray volume per tree (avoid over-wetting or dry spots).

Tip: Mitra Airotec Turbo 600L comes with easily adjustable nozzles and controls for fast calibration.

2. Spray During Ideal Weather Conditions

Spray during:

• Early morning or late evening (cool hours).
• Calm weather with no strong wind.

This ensures the spray doesn’t drift away and sticks properly to the plant surfaces.

3. Use Correct Spray Mixture

• Always follow manufacturer’s dosage for pesticides and nutrients.
• Maintain proper pH of water (between 6.5–7.0) for best results.
• Mix thoroughly before pouring into the sprayer tank.

The 600L tank of the Airotec Turbo allows enough spray mixture for a good number of trees in one go.

4. Cover Both Sides of the Canopy

With the double fan system of Mitra Airotec Turbo 600L, the spray reaches both sides of the pomegranate canopy in a single pass. Still, drive the tractor at a slow speed (2–3 km/h) to allow good coverage.

5. Regularly Clean and Maintain the Sprayer

To keep the machine in good condition:

• Flush the tank and pipelines after every use.
• Check nozzle blockages regularly.
• Grease moving parts.
• Inspect fan blades and gearbox.

Mitra Airotec Turbo 600L is built for easy maintenance, and spare parts are readily available through Mitra's strong dealer network.
