Objective The objective of this study was to compare droplet spectra characteristics for nozzle types used to apply postemergence herbicides.

Materials and Methods cont.: 24 ft. spray bar MPH 0.24 GPM / nozzle Nozzle Spacing: 20 in. Boom Height:20 in.

Discussion Results

DropletScan  used to analyze droplets  Droplet scan software was used for droplet characteristics Volume Median Diameter, Percent Area Coverage, Deposition  Statistical analysis with SAS

Droplet Size b a ef cd f dbc cdd dc

Coverge cd bc de b f cd a a bc c cde

Deposition b bb b bb b b b b b b

Findings Statistical differences were found for all droplet characteristics measured. TTI - largest droplets, with lowest coverage and deposition. XR - smallest droplets, with most coverage and deposition. ULD – middle on droplet size, 2 nd best coverage and deposition. Venturi design II group as an average had smaller droplets, better coverage and deposition than the venturi design I group.

Conclusions: The findings support that the use of nozzle types producing smaller droplets tend to have more coverage and deposition than those producing larger droplets. Data also supports that the newer designs in venturi nozzles will provide more coverage and deposition than the older venturi nozzle designs.
