Which nozzle produces a uniform pattern across its width for band spraying?

The even flat fan nozzle is recognized for its ability to produce a consistent and uniform spray pattern across its width when applied for band spraying. This design enables the nozzle to create a wide, flat spray that ensures even coverage over the target area, minimizing the risk of overlapping or gaps in the sprayed band. This uniformity is crucial in applications where precise pesticide application is required to ensure efficacy while also protecting non-target areas.

In contrast, other nozzles, such as the hollow cone nozzle, are designed to create a circular, conical spray pattern that may not provide the uniform coverage needed for band spraying. The high-volume ground spray nozzle typically delivers a larger volume of liquid but may not focus the spray in a manner that maintains a consistent width. The solid stream nozzle produces a concentrated jet of spray, which can lead to uneven application and is not suitable for broad, uniform coverage necessary for effective band spraying. Thus, the even flat fan nozzle is the most appropriate choice for achieving even application across a specified band.
