Selection guides for 50cm nozzle spacing and 38.1cm (15 inch) nozzle spacing

Nozzles affect spray quality and spraying efficiency. GRDC has two Standard Nozzle Selection Guides for standard boom sprays to help select the best nozzle for the task: for 50cm nozzle spacing and for 30.1cm (15 inch) nozzle spacing.

The Pulse width modulation sprayers fact sheet includes the nozzle selection guide for pulse width modulations sprayers.

Key points

  • Maximise spray quality by choosing the most suitable nozzle for the task.
  • Manage the risk of spray drift by complying with the label requirements for minimum spray quality.
  • GRDC's Standard Nozzle Selection Guides for standard boom sprays details the most common nozzle types.
  • These guides use the latest spray quality classifications from nozzle manufacturers. Classifications have been updated to the most current ISO 25358 / ASABE S-572.3 standard.
