The demand for agricultural products increases with limited access to agricultural land. As a result, there is an increase in yield owing to new techniques applied to agriculture, i.e. precise seed potatoes treatment. For this purpose, the dressing of seed potatoes was tested using the author’s method of checking the quality of spraying with dressing agent and improving seed coverage. In the hereby work, the method of image analysis was used to detect the movement of particles of working liquid. The article presents a test stand for measuring spraying time after exiting an innovative pressure-pneumatic valve using image analysis. The analysis was made using a fast Cronos 1.4 camera. The subject of the research was the construction of the station and evaluation of the work of the innovative pressure-pneumatic valve in two configurations: without the addition of compressed air and using additional compressed air.
