French term

eau de pulvérisation

French to English Science Agriculture fongicide
DOSE D'EMPLOI :
Pour toutes cultures : dilution :
4-8 % de l' ***eau de pulvérisation*** soit 40-80 ml par litre.
Dilution valable dans les limites de minimum 60 L à maximum 200 L d' eau de bouillie par ha.

Il est question ici de deux eaux différentes, mais n'étant pas scientifique, je ne connais ni l'une ni l'autre. Je pose en fait une question par eau.

Daryo Apr 1, 2022:
the difference between the two from the information available, it looks like:

eau de pulvérisation = water that is meant to feed the spray / to be sprayed (doesn't matter where it comes from, nor if anything is added to it or not)

eau de bouillie = water that is meant to be used for making "bouillie" (to be mixed with whatever are other ingredients of a "bouillie")

IOW you could have "eau de bouillie" turning into "eau de pulvérisation" after other ingredients are added to it.
Conor McAuley Mar 26, 2022:
I checked if there was an FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations) term for this, but it appears there isn't.
Barbara Schmidt, M.A. (X) Mar 25, 2022:
Change of mind After reading up on this, I believe Conor's right after all.
I'll leave my answer because it does explain the instructions. But eau de pulvérisation really seems to be about the water quality, and so Conor's answer would be the correct one as far as I'm concerned.
Barbara Schmidt, M.A. (X) Mar 24, 2022:
As to your question - no, this is not about two kinds of water or anything. Simply about buying a concentrate and diluting it with more (of the same) water.
Barbara Schmidt, M.A. (X) Mar 24, 2022:
IMO, this is all about dilution.

You simply take the concentrate (the concentrated solution that you've bought in a jerrycan) and use this to make a 4-8% solution by adding water. Which, by their calculation, equals 40-80 ml of the concentrate per liter water. A logical calculation and easy enough for a farmer to handle.

This diluted solution is then sprayed onto the crop; the farmer is to use somewhere between 60 L and 200 L per ha.

From the website linked to above:

"The quality of the water used can cause problems due to:

- Muddy water - the silt or clay content can affect herbicide performance and cause blockages of the jets.
- pH - the acidity or alkalinity of the water can affect the rate of breakdown of chemicals in water.
- Hardness caused by calcium and/or magnesium salts. These ions can interfere with herbicides by the processes of inactivation, breakdown or precipitation.
- Salinity caused by sodium salts. These ions can also interfere with herbicides by the processes of inactivation, breakdown or precipitation.
- Temperature - very cold water can cause gelling, particularly with oil additives. High water temperatures can accelerate the process of hydrolysis."

concentrate // concentrated solution // concentrated product

This is the stuff you're actually buying in a jerrycan. It still needs to be diluted before you can use it.

to this end, you make a 4-8% solution by adding water. Which, by their calculation, equals 40-80 ml of the concentrate per liter water. A logical calculation and easy enough for a farmer to handle.

This diluted solution is then sprayed onto the crop; you are to use somewhere between 60 L and 200 L per ha.

spray water

When referring to the quality of water and its suitability for spraying (it should not have naturally occurring chemicals that might react with the pesticide/herbicide/fungicide etc. being used) people may well use 'eau de pulvérisation' (water (suitable) for spraying), but I think more than anything this term refers simply to the water into which the xxxxicide etc. is mixed (though it must of course be fit for purpose). It is simply the 'water used to make the mix' or spray water.

"2,4-D amine activity is also reduced by bicarbonate ions in SPRAY WATER, especially when low rates (0.34 L/ac) are used"
" MSU recommends adding 17 pounds of ammonium sulfate to the SPRAY WATER before the glyphosate is added."

If you are dosing at 8%, 100 litres of spray water will come to 108 litres of spray mix (bouillie, eau de bouillie). Which of course really means that you have 7.4% of xxxxicide in your mix, but it hardly matters since farmers will overdose and overspray in any case).

Forgot these:

"Water with 200 mg/L CaCO3 can cause problems for chemical SPRAY WATER; the suggested upper limit of hardness for water used for CHEMICAL SPRAYS is 300 mg/L." (admittedly this could be parsed differently, i.e. as 'water for chemical sprays' rather than 'spray water for application of chemicals').

"Most pesticides perform best in slightly acidic SPRAY WATER with a pH of 4.0 to 6.5. Those in solutions above pH 7.0 are at greater risk of breaking down. Buffers lower the pH of SPRAY WATER and help stabilize it at a constant level."
