Abstract

The proper selection of a nozzle type and size is essential for proper pesticide application. The nozzle is a major factor in determining the amount of spray applied to an area, the uniformity of application, the coverage obtained on the target surface, and the amount of potential drift. This NebGuide covers nozzle description, recommended uses and orifice sizing for sprayers.
