For insect control, which of the following nozzle types is NOT typically used?

Insect control often requires precise application techniques to effectively target pests while minimizing damage to beneficial organisms and the environment. The wide flat fan nozzle is typically designed for herbicide applications and broad coverage of the target area, making it less suitable for insect control.

Insecticides usually necessitate more concentrated and targeted application patterns to ensure that the insect pests receive adequate exposure to the pesticide while avoiding drift and over-spray. Conversely, nozzle types such as flooding fan, hollow cone, and solid cone are specifically designed for providing a more focused or directed spray pattern, which is critical for effective insect control. Hollow cone and solid cone nozzles create finer droplets conducive to better coverage on insect pests, while flooding fans can help in covering larger areas but with a more liquid application, which still aligns more closely with pest management practices than what is typically associated with a wide flat fan nozzle.
