Abstract

Spraying equipment -- Study and teaching.

Spraying and dusting in agriculture -- Study and teaching.

Pesticides -- Application -- Study and teaching.

Pests -- Control -- Study and teaching.

This curriculum has been developed as a resource for those who would like to educate participants on the function and challenges associated with different nozzles that are used in common agricultural sprayers. This curriculum focuses on two main aspects of agricultural sprayer nozzles: how they function, and how to determine if they are functioning properly. Participants will learn that nozzle wear leads to deviations in spray pattern and rate (gallons per minute; GPM) from the indicated manufactured output. They will also learn the difference between hollow cone disc-core, one-piece (also called molded), and air induction nozzles and their appropriate use. This curriculum should be used in conjunction with "Common Interchangeable Nozzles for Perennial Crop Canopy Sprayers" (McCoy et al. 2020; Washington State University Extension Fact Sheet 352E).
