For typical arable spraying operations, there are two types of nozzle to choose from; Conventional and Air-Included. Spray manufacturers usually indicate the optimum BCPC spray quality on product labels, where not indicated the principles shown in the table (right) should apply. There is no equivalent classification system yet for AirInclusion nozzles (currently the subject of an HGCA funded project*). Traditionally Air-Inclusion nozzles have tended to be used in place of nozzles in the ‘Coarse’ or ‘Very Coarse’ conventional categories and so had limited applications. However tests carried out with GuardianAIRTM nozzles have shown that they produce finer droplets than other AirInclusion nozzles, This means better spray coverage, so GuardianAIRTM nozzles are more equivalent to a ‘Medium’ 13:38 Page 3 IDENTIFYING WIND SPEED The BCPC advises that wind speeds of 3.2 to 6.5 km/h (2 - 4 mph) are ideal for spraying. Working with Hypro nozzles For Conventional Flat Fan nozzles, spray quality varies according to nozzle size (defined by nozzle flow in l/min) and with pressure - with larger sizes and lower pressures producing larger droplets. The spray quality for each nozzle size/pressure is defined by the BCPC International Spray Classification System, which groups nozzles into five categories: VERY FINE, FINE, MEDIUM, COARSE AND VERY COARSE. Spray quality classifications for Hypro nozzles are indicated in the tables on pages 10-21. 26/2/10 Fine Sprays Enhance spray retention on the target. Suitable for small targets and contact acting fungicides and insecticides. There is a higher risk of spray drift with fine sprays. Medium Sprays The default option if no another spray quality is indicated. Coarse Sprays Use with residual / soil applied herbicides. Approximate air speed at boom height Beaufort scale (at 10m*) Description Visible signs Spraying Less than 2 km/h (Less than 1.2 mph) Force 0 Calm Smoke rises vertically Only use medium or coarse spray quality 2 - 3.2 km/h (1.2 - 2 mph) Force 1 Light air Direction shown by smoke drift Acceptable spraying conditions 3.2 - 6.5 km/h (2 - 4 mph) Force 2 Light Breeze Leaves rustle, wind felt on face Ideal spraying conditions 6.5 - 9.6 km/h (4 - 6 mph) Force 3 Gentle Breeze Leaves and twigs in constant motion Increased risk of spray drift. Take special care 9.6 - 14.5 km/h (6 - 9 mph) Force 4 Moderate Small branches moved, raises dust or loose paper Spraying inadvisable * Wind speed at typical boom heights will be roughly half the speed at 10 metres above the ground. conventional spray quality. GuardianAIRTM nozzles have been successfully used for many spray applications in place of Flat Fan nozzles with the additional benefit of spray drift reduction. As a result they have already become the standard spring spraying nozzle for many farmers. However they are considered too coarse for very small targets, such as autumn spraying of black grass. NOZZLE CARE 1) CLEANING: Clear blocked nozzles by soaking in water and cleaning with a soft brush and air line. NEVER blow through orifice by mouth or poke with wire or pins, as this will damage the nozzles. 2) WEAR AND TEAR: Nozzles should be regularly checked for wear and damage. Keep one unused nozzle aside from each new set as a comparison. The whole set should be renewed when output has increased by 10% or more, or at least every year. Crop Chemical cost / hectare* WHY NOZZLE CONDITION MATTERS Faulty or worn nozzles are one of the main reasons that sprayers fail their tests under the UK National Sprayer Testing Scheme. In 2006, 18% of sprayers tested between April and October failed their tests for these reasons. The table below shows the additional chemical costs of using worn nozzles with a 5% inaccuracy. In addition worn nozzles will cause uneven chemical distribution and consequent poorer spray efficacy. Degree of inaccuracy Cost / hectare** Average cost of new nozzles*** Area sprayed to recover cost of new nozzles Winter wheat £118.50 5% £5.93 £85 14 Hectares Winter barley £85.50 5% £4.28 £85 20 Hectares Sugar beet £130 5% £6.50 £85 13 Hectares Potatoes £430 5% £21.50 £85 4 Hectares Winter oilseed rape £96 5% £4.80 £85 18 Hectares * HCGA Project ref: RD-2006-3273 This project has already concluded that the commercially available air-induction nozzles give large differences in droplet sizes. 2 *Source: 2007 Farm Management Pocket Book. **Represents cost of over application of just 5% ***Assumes 48 x Standard Flat Fan spray nozzles. 3 Hypro Text 2010 Pocket Guide:Hypro Text 2010 Pocket Guide Calibration SPRAY VOLUME RATE This is usually found on the agrochemical product label (in litres of water per hectare) with recommended upper and lower limits. Select a rate based on:a) Special crop requirements; e.g. penetrating a dense canopy may require the higher end of the volume range. b) The limits of sprayer pump capacity and the PTO speeds to be used. Note; always allow plenty of spare capacity for agitation - especially for wettable powders. c) If in doubt use higher water volumes. BOOM HEIGHT Hypro flat fan nozzles are designed to overlap to the centre of each adjoining pattern. To test the evenness of distribution: • Choose an area of dry concrete • Set boom height so that patterns overlap on the ground. (See guidelines below) • Spray with clean water to wet the concrete • If the concrete does not dry evenly, adjust boom height and repeat the test until drying is even The boom height in the field should then be raised so that the pattern overlaps on the target. Nozzle Spacing (on spraybar) Min. rec. boom height above target 80˚ tips 110˚ tips 50cm (20") 75cm (30") 50cm (20") 46cm (18") 53cm (21") 35cm (14") 33cm (13") 24cm (9") 40cm (16") 26/2/10 13:38 Page 5 SPRAYER CALIBRATION Sprayers should be calibrated using plain water only. Sprayers should be re-calibrated every 100 hectares (250 acres). Check and clean all filters and ensure the pump feed and delivery lines are free of restrictions prior to calibration. I. Using a calibrated measuring cylinder, measure the output from a minimum of four nozzles (at least one from each boom section) whilst timing the operation - ensuring the pressure is set as required. 2. If the output of these nozzles differs slightly from required, adjust the pressure until the correct rate is achieved at each nozzle. 3. Should the output of these nozzles differ by a large amount which cannot be compensated by pressure then re-check calibration and calculations. If necessary, all nozzles should be replaced with a larger size. 4. Any individual nozzle varying by more than 10% should be replaced - as should any nozzles showing broken or uneven spray patterns. Patternation ENSURING ACCURATE PATTERNATION Having achieved the correct nozzle flow rate, it is essential to ensure that it is evenly distributed across the spray boom. This can be checked (use plain water only) under field conditions using the Hypro Portable Patternator Panel. CAUTION: The nozzle calibration charts are intended only as an approximate guide to performance. Variation can occur, particularly with liquids of varying viscosity and specific gravity. Hypro offers equipment that allows you to check the pressure and spray output at the nozzle, for more details see page 30. (PART NO. 010Q2315) FORWARD SPEED: The usual spraying speeds are 8-16km/h. High speeds should not be used if they result in unacceptable boom bounce and yaw, or if spray drift becomes excessive. To calculate speed in km/h; divide 360 by the number of seconds it takes to travel 100 metres. 4 5 Hypro Text 2010 Pocket Guide:Hypro Text 2010 Pocket Guide 26/2/10 13:38 Page 7 Popular Nozzle Types Hypro produces a huge array of nozzles for every conceivable application, the following popular nozzle types cover the majority of agricultural application requirements: GuardianAIRTM 110° Finer Air-inclusion Nozzles (see p13) Good spray coverage, with reduced drift, ideal for lower water rates.

Liquids with a higher Specific Gravity (S.G.) than water (e.g. liquid fertiliser) flow more slowly, so a Correction Factor needs to be calculated. Correction Factor = 1 S.G. Use the Correction Factor to calculate a Reference Application Rate: Reference Application Rate l/ha = Target Application Rate in L/Ha Correction factor Use this Reference Application Rate to select nozzzle size, pressure and speed from the Nozzle Charts above. These settings will then apply the Target Application Rate. Example: When aiming to supply 240 l/ha of spray liquid with a specific gravity of 1:28 the correction factor calculates to 0.88. 240 l/Ha 0.88 = 273 (use this figure to select the nozzle, and it will apply 240 l/ha) USEFUL CONVERSIONS Centimetres (cm) Metres (m) Kilometres (km) Hectares (Ha) Millilitres (ml) Litres (l) Litres (l) Bar MULTIPLY BY x 0.3937 x 3.281 x 0.6214 x 2.471 x 0.035 x 0.22 x 0.264 x 14.5 To convert litres/hectare to gallons/acre divide by 11.3 (imperial) 36 TO OBTAIN inches feet miles acres fluid ounces Imperial gallons US Gallons psi 26/2/10 13:39 Page 37
