Fine grape varieties are susceptible to a large number of diseases and its control is responsible for the largest production expenses. The agrochemical technology application has great addition importance in this process, to reduce the waste, contamination and resistance. This research had as objectives to evaluate the commonly nozzles configuration used and to propose other more appropriate to the application of agrochemicals with air assisted sprayer. Water sensitive papers were used to evaluate the coverage on 16 vineyard sampling points. Accumulation points and deficiency of spray coverage can be observed. It was possible to get more appropriate configuration opening or closing the spray boom nozzles, using flat fan nozzles or the mixture of hollow cone with different flow rates, for grapevine pesticide application taxes among 250 to 400L ha-1.
