The coverage on small leaf weed grass improves as well. Spraying growth regulators requires a coarse spray to reduce drift risk, important when spraying close to sensitive neighbour crops or non-agricultural areas. When Spraying contact fungicides at late development stages, the...

Where drift reduction is required select nozzle size/type with at least coarse spray quality. From growth stage 32 onwards, hose drops can be used for root/stem treatment with insecticides or fungicides, also in combination with liquid fertiliser. Adjust hose drop height to prevent spray pattern from reaching green parts of the plant. For late application of liquid fertiliser, the use of hose drops is highly recommended....

Nozzle guide potatoes Potatoes HERBICIDES LATE FUNGICIDES POST HARVEST PROTECTION EARLY FUNGICIDES Use at least coarse spray for desiccation. TD HiSpeed nozzles are coarse at lower pressure plus the asymmetric dual fan improves coverage helping to reach hidden leaves for complete leaf burn of the crop. Using TurboDrop® nozzles at higher pressure, while spraying coarse, improves penetration into dense canopies. Reducing application speed will result in a better penetration; this is also recommended when using TD HiSpeed nozzles. Adjusting speed and application rates in accordance with the leaf...

Nozzle guide canola INSECTICIDES BBCHCode Asymmetric dual fan nozzles can better target weeds covered by broad rape leaves, as well as small grass weeds, before they appear in-between the crop. Spray coarse under drift conditions. At late development stages and in dense canopies respectively, using TurboDrop® nozzles at higher pressures, while spraying coarse to medium, has proven good results. Use coarse where drift reduction is required. Treatments against canola pollen beetle at flowering show excellent results using the TD HiSpeed nozzles. For best penetration and efficacy in dense canopies...
