What is the role of an agitation system in a liquid applicator?

The role of an agitation system in a liquid applicator is to maintain a uniform spray mixture. This is crucial because many herbicides and pesticides can settle or separate when sitting in a tank, leading to uneven application when sprayed. Proper agitation ensures that the mixture of the active ingredient and any carriers or additives remains homogenous, allowing for consistent delivery and effectiveness when the product is applied to the target area. By keeping the spray mixture uniform, the applicator can more effectively control the distribution of the herbicide, ensuring that the intended area is treated adequately without the risk of patches where the herbicide concentration is too low or too high.
