Module 14: Boom stability and height control
14.8: Summary
Published 24 January 2025 | Last updated 20 January 2025
Boom stability and height control are critical for maintaining nozzle height, which determines how even the spray application will be across the boom and at the target. Minimising boom height also helps to reduce the potential for spray drift to occur.
Auto height-control systems can work well, provided they are correctly fitted and calibrated, the sprayer set-up is optimised for their use, and the boom centre is appropriately modified where required.
Careful consideration should be given to the boom design and height-control system before purchase, to ensure the set-up chosen best matches the requirements of the operation.
