The introduction of dicamba and 2,4-D tolerance traits in corn and soybeans will be accompanied by an unprecedented emphasis on spray drift management by the registrants. We’ve already seen promotion of low-drift nozzles at field days as well as websites dedicated to product stewardship. In addition, product label statements for 2,4-D choline and the new […]
We often write about how valuable water sensitive paper can be to visualize and assess the coverage we’re getting from a specific application method. A handy reference is this matrix that combines both factors. Print it and use it in the field to compare what your application method is doing to these relative standards. On average, […]
Pulse-width Modulated flow control allows you to change travel speed by a factor of about five without a change in spray pressure. This chart shows which nozzle flow rates to use. Note the significant pressure drop across the Capstan solenoid. This value must be added to the cab spray pressure, as explained here. Capstan Tip […]

The reason it’s not simple is because selecting the “right” nozzle for a sprayer is a process. It can be broken down into two steps: identifying the right flow rate […]
