Abstract: Cultivated plants should be protected by specific measures - phytosanitary treatments - due to their reduced ability of self-defense against unfavorable biotic factors (weeds, diseases and pest). The main direction to improve the technologies for the application of phytosanitary treatments is to create clean work processes, while applying punctual sprinkling, as an integral part of the concept of "Precision agriculture". Intense use of chemical synthetic substances caused the progressive degradation of the environment and the autoimmunization of pest, which is why recent research focuses on the promotion of clean, selective and biodegradable substances. Precise sprinkling is a way to reduce the use of substance by commanding the nozzles, depending on whether the plant mass is in the range of equipment. Clean phytosanitary substances are of two types: herbal substances and substances derived from biomass. The use of these substances is a key component of organic farming.
