What can happen if the wrong nozzle is selected?

Selecting the wrong nozzle can significantly impact application effectiveness. When the inappropriate nozzle is used, it can lead to off-target drift, meaning the application may spread to areas not intended, potentially harming non-target plants, wildlife, or water resources. Additionally, there may be insufficient coverage, meaning that the intended area doesn't receive the necessary amount of product, reducing the overall effectiveness of the application and possibly leading to inadequate pest or weed control.

This reality emphasizes the importance of selecting nozzles based on their design and intended application rate to ensure that the spray pattern, droplet size, and coverage are appropriate for the specific task at hand. Improving application efficiency and target control requires careful consideration of the nozzle used, so using the right one is crucial for achieving the desired results while minimizing environmental impact.
