note = {Progress in the technology of weed detection using cameras combined with image processing requires improvements in spray technology. Spraying systems of current design distribute herbicides uniformly across the field. Applying the chemical agents only at locations with weeds according to the indications of a weed treatment map (off-line application) or of a weed detection system (on-line application) will reduce costs significantly and contribute to environmentally friendly crop farming. Direct injection systems inject chemical agents into the hydraulic system of the sprayer in a manner that allows the rate and type of herbicide to be varied during field operation. A disadvantage of current injection systems lies in long response times, i.e. the time until the required concentration of spray solution is reached at the nozzles. Application errors occur because the flow rate of the active ingredient at the nozzles is not adjusted rapidly enough to meet the herbicide requirement at a given location in the field. For on-line application, the distance between the point of injection and the nozzle has to be minimized. This study presents results concerning the response time analysis of a direct injection system with two different locations of the injection point. The concentration development of a tracer as measured by a conductivity sensor was employed to determine lag and response times. The experiments were carried out with various carrier and tracer flow rates as well as different tubing sizes and tracer viscosities.},
