| Question: | "We recently purchased a new sprayer to apply plant protectants and fertilizers on our course. Although the sprayer has functioned superbly, the length and effectiveness of fungicide control has decreased. Does our new sprayer have something to do with this?" |

| Source of Question: | Pennsylvania |

| Answer/Response: | "Yes and no. If the sprayer is functioning properly in terms of pressure and volume output, it is not the problem. However, your new sprayer may have different nozzles that are not providing proper distribution of the materials you are applying. Nozzles used to apply fungicides have a dramatic influence on efficacy. Nozzles that produce larger droplet sizes reduce drift, but they can compromise coverage. Consult with your sprayer or nozzle manufacturer to determine the best nozzle for your situation, preferably one that minimizes drift but still provides adequate coverage. A nozzle "turret" that allows different nozzles to be used for different applications also can help. In addition, check the sprayer's calibration. Spray volume of 1 to 2 gallons per 1,000 sq. ft. should be used for fungicide applications." |
