The advent, largely in the past two decades, of highly-active but expensive pesticides, has been accompanied by the realization that most spraying operations are inefficient, wasteful, potentially hazardous to non-target organisms, and dependent on a plentiful supply of clean water. ULV techniques, particularly those using spinning-disc sprayers, have already radically changed spray technology. Charged-particle sprayers such as the Electrodyn may completely transform it.
