4.14 Nozzle Selection
Correct selection of nozzle and calibration of the sprayer are critical to
achieve accurate and cost effective use of farm crop protection prod-
ucts.
Your HARDI
®
sprayer has been supplied with 110° fl at spray Red ISO
Color Tips™ that will apply approximately 20 U.S. GPA at 30 PSI and
5 MPH.
The 110° fl at spray nozzle was chosen rather than the 80 degree
nozzle for two reasons: 1- It may be used at a lower minimum height
which reduces the risk of wind drift; 2- it's greater overlap permits bet-
ter uniformity of spray distribution, particularly if boom height varies on
rough ground. Normal boom height setting with 110° nozzles is 18" to
20" above the crop or weeds, whichever is taller.
Should you wish a different application rate or different type of nozzle,
HARDI
®
manufactures a nozzle for virtually every need.
IMPORTANT:
Always consult your chemical supplier for rec om-
mended chemical rate and water application rate. Always wear
protective gloves when handling nozzles.
The following tables show what types of spray nozzles are suitable for
different applications. It is important to use the correct nozzle.
