What's new in nozzles? - AIR INDUCTION IMPROVES SPRAY NOZZLE PERFORMANCE

摘要

In an ideal crop-spraying world, nozzles would deliver a spray pattern with maximum coverage and no drift. Spray nozzle manufacturers have been edging closer to that ideal over the past couple of decades, first with low-drift nozzles and, in more recent years, air-induction or venturi nozzles. The question is: Can air-induction nozzles deliver better performance than conventional nozzles or earlier-generation low-drift nozzles by minimizing spray-drift risk more than their predecessors while maximizing plant coverage? That's critical for fungicide, insecticide and post-emergence herbicide applications.
