The right nozzle choice – The basis for success in crop protection

Less drift also at higher wind speeds

Injector nozzles (ID, TTI) have a relatively coarse droplet spectrum and are particularly versatile with regard to their range of application. A pressure range of 2 to 8 bar is possible. They are universally usable in all crops and all classifications. Because of the coarse droplet application, these nozzles can also be used in higher wind speeds.

If coverage quality is at the foreground of the application, the use of standard or anti-drift fine droplet nozzles, such as XR or AD, is recommended. Special care is required here due to their tendency to drift above 3 bar.

A good compromise is provided by the modern ID-K or Airmix compact injector nozzles. These have relatively little drift, but do not have too coarse a droplet spectrum and are operated at 2 to 4 bar.

When it comes to special coverage qualities, the double flat fan nozzle is an interesting alternative: the AVI Twin from Agrotop also produces droplets that are not too fine.

The split spray pattern ensures a more even deposit on the front and back of the plant and makes sense maybe, for example, in ear treatment.

For speeds greater than 10 km/h, the TD HiSpeed nozzle with its asymmetrical spraying angle is becoming a new industry trend.
