  • Exploding Sprayer Myths (ep.6): Sprayer Cleanout

    Exploding Sprayer Myths (ep.6): Sprayer Cleanout

    It’s been quite a ride. Here’s episode six of “Exploding Spray Myths”. Real Agriculture helps us share an important message about why sprayer clean out involves so much more than just the tank. If you think you know what we’re covered with, we’re accepting guesses.

    And please, don’t blow into nozzles, even if they don’t touch your lips. Blowback is a real thing…

    Exploding Sprayer Myths (ep.5): Early Morning Spraying

    Should you really get up before the birds to spray? There are a lot of good reasons for early morning and night spraying, but if you’re in a strong inversion, you might be in a world of hurt. Here’s episode 5 in our series of short, educational and irreverent videos made with Real Agriculture.

    Exploding Sprayer Myths (ep.3): Nozzle Pressure

    Here’s the third in our series of short, educational and irreverent videos made with Real Agriculture.
    We wanted to explain where pressure readings are taken on a sprayer and why it’s so important to know what pressure your nozzle is experiencing, rather than what the screens in your cab are telling you. Not only does pressure affect your application rate, but it affects your spray quality, which can be critical if your rate controller allows the pressure to drop below 30 psi.

    IT’S MY TURN TO DRIVE!

    Exploding Sprayer Myths (ep.2): Canopy Penetration

    This is the second of a series of short, educational and irreverent videos made with Real Agriculture to bring a little levity to sprayer education. Let’s face it – ironically, nozzles can be pretty dry.

    Here we enjoy an early morning soy bean scout and a light breakfast of toast as we demonstrate how pressure, droplet size and canopy penetration interact.

    Exploding Sprayer Myths (ep.1): Rate Controllers

    This is the first of a series of short, educational and irreverent videos made with Real Agriculture to bring a little levity to sprayer education. Let’s face it – ironically, nozzles can be pretty dry.

    This first video discusses what a rate controller can be expected to do, and what it cannot do. Plus, we got to blow up a sprayer in the intro… so there’s that.
