| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses "a nozzle selection project" and provides "some guidance on nozzle selection." States that superintendents "indicated that their primary goal when spraying [fungicides] was to get the job done quickly...[and] many would reduce their spray water volume to 50 gallons or less with the goal of carrying less water to save time." Also states that this method resulted in a "level and duration of dollar spot suppressions [that] was unacceptable...due in part to nozzle selection." States that the "primary goal of the Syngenta nozzle project was to...determine the best way to maximize the performance of fungicide when applied at 44 gallons/acre (411.6 liters/hectare)." Describes "four basic nozzle types [that] are used for most turf applications," including the extended-range flat-fan nozzle, air-induction nozzles, pre-orifice flat-fan nozzles, flooding wide-angle flat-spray nozzles, and raindrop nozzles. Concludes that "nozzles are often an overlooked piece of the puzzle when problems with product performance arise. The most common factors involved in product failure that we see are spray volumes that are too large to provide the complete coverage needed to control certain diseases." |
