4 Selecting the Right Spray Tip To be effective, a pesticide must be applied properly. The spray tips are probably the smallest and most overlooked piece of equipment on the spraying machine. However, they have the greatest effect on the accuracy and efficiency of each pesticide application. To select the correct spray tip for the job, first fully read the pesticide label and look for information on tip type, application rate, spray quality, and environmental restrictions. Then a) Check which type of spraying technique you will be using broadcast or banding. b) Check your sprayer speed. c) Select the application rate from the pesticide label. d) Determine the flow rate (GPM) needed for the spray tip, or use the application rate (GPA) chart for the desired tip (refer to page 8 for how to use the application charts for fast and easy tip selection). e) Select the pattern type. f) Select tip size and pressure that provides the desired flow rate and application rate. g) Check the spray quality tables to be sure the spray tip and pressure create the droplet spectrum you require. A Spraying Technique: Broadcast spraying is when the entire field is to be treated. The width that each tip sprays, adjusted for spray overlap, is the distance between tips on the spray boom. Band spraying is when planted rows or unplanted gaps are treated. The width that each tip sprays is the width of the treated band. B Sprayer Speed: Forward speed of the spraying machine should be measured accurately. Radar or ultrasound speed sensors should be calibrated after installation or servicing. Wheel-driven speedometers should be calibrated whenever the driving surface changes, such as after cultivation. Speed can be determined if it is known how long it takes to drive a measured distance: distance (feet) x 60 speed in MPH = time (seconds) x 88 Improved vehicle design means that speeds up to 20 MPH are now possible. Higher speeds (10-20 MPH) improve work rates and timeliness; lower speeds (5-10 MPH) give improved canopy penetration and make spray drift control simpler. C Application Rate: Read the pesticide label closely to determine an appropriate spray application rate. If a range of acceptable application rates is listed, choose a rate that best matches your situation. For example, application rates of less than 15 GPA will increase work rates and improve timeliness whereas higher application rates (> 15 GPA), are required for good coverage in dense canopies. 2

5 D Flow Rate: Determine the exact flow required from each tip by calculating: GPA x MPH x tip spacing (inches) GPM = 5,940 Or you can read the application tables throughout this guide. E Spray Pattern Type: Flat Fan pattern Available as a tapered spray for boom applications or an even spray for single tip applications. They have an elliptical orifice, which produces a narrow oval pattern. Tapered spray tips produce a triangular spray pattern where most of the spray is deposited immediately under the tip. By overlapping tapered sprays, an even distribution across the entire boom can be obtained. Tapered Even Deflect pattern Also known as anvil or flood tips, deflect tips produce a wide-angled flat pattern when operated at low pressures (10-40 PSI). The tips generally produce a coarse, even spray. Anvil/Flood Cone pattern These spray tips produce either a solid circular, even footprint (full cone tips) or a hollow circular footprint (hollow cone tips). Full cones are ideal for spot spraying whereas hollow cones are used on air-assisted sprayers and directed sprays. Full Hollow 3

6 Selecting the Right Spray Tip F Tip Size and Pressure: Use the flow rate tables provided throughout this guide to select the tip and pressure that provides the flow needed for the application. G Spray Quality: The most important performance characteristic of a spray tip is both the size and the variation of droplets or spray quality that it produces. Spray Quality* Size of Retention on Used for Drift Droplets Difficult to Wet Potential Leaves Very Fine Small Excellent Exceptions High Fine Very Good Good Cover Medium Good Most Products Coarse Moderate Systemic Herbicides Very Coarse Poor Soil Herbicides Extremely Coarse Large Very Poor Liquid Fertilizer Low ** Always read the pesticide label to determine which spray quality is required. ASAE S-572 Droplet Size Classification The American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) developed the ASAE S-572 standard to measure and interpret spray quality from tips. The ASAE S-572 standard uses six droplet classification categories: Very Fine, Fine, Medium, Coarse, Very Coarse and Extremely Coarse. Most agrochemical applications recommend a fine, medium, or coarse spray. Fine Medium Coarse sprays provide enhanced retention for directed spraying on the target including: Foliar-acting weed control Contact-acting fungicides and insecticides sprays are the most widely used spray type. Used by default by most applicators when spray quality is not defined by the label. Systemic-acting fungicides, insecticides and herbicides sprays are used with systemic, residual, and soil-applied herbicides. 4

7 Spray Tip Maintenance Worn, damaged or plugged tips are costly... to the environment and your bottom line. As tips wear out, their orifices become enlarged, resulting in over application and uneven application of chemicals. Just 10% increase in flow from worn tips represent a loss of $2,000 to $10,000 on a twice-sprayed 1,000 acre farm (at $10-$50/acre chemical cost). And when the potential environmental and crop damage is considered, the real cost is almost immeasurable. The good news is, monitoring and maintaining tip performance is one of the easiest ways to help keep a sprayer operating accurately and efficiently. 1. As a rule, replace tips at the beginning of the spraying season, when worn 10%, or when damaged. 2. Only use the tip type that is recommended for your particular spraying application. 3. Calibrate your sprayer regularly to compensate for normal tip wear. 4. Add a spray monitor to catch uneven performance and plugged tips. Hypro spray tips are precision-engineered components that should be regularly maintained to ensure that they give trouble-free service. To clear blocked tips, soak in water and clean with a brush and airline. For stubborn deposits, soak in warm water and detergent, agitating occasionally. Never blow through a tip or poke with wires or pins damage to the orifice will alter flow rate, spray angle, and spray distribution. 5

8 Spray Tip Selection Guide The following chart has been designed to simplify selection of the correct spray tip type for the agrochemical to be applied. It is based on having good conditions for spraying and should be used in conjunction with the agrochemical manufacturer s label. 6

66 ASAE S-572 Spray Tip Classification by Droplet Size Developed by the Pest Control and Fertilizer Application Committee; approved by the Power and Machinery Division Standards Committee; adopted by ASAE PM41. This standard defines droplet spectrum categories for the classification of spray tips, relative to specified reference fan tips discharging spray into static air or so that no stream of air enhances atomization. The purpose of classification is to provide the tip user with droplet size information, primarily to indicate off-site spray drift potential, and secondarily, for application efficiency. This standard defines a means for relative tip comparisons only based on droplet size. Other spray drift a n d application efficiency fa c t o r s, such as droplet discharge tra j e c t o ry, height and ve l o c i t y, air bu bble inclusion, droplet evaporation and impaction on target are examples of factors not addressed by the current standard. Classification categories, symbols and corresponding color codes are as follows: Classification Category Symbol Color Code Approximate VMD Very Fine VF Red <100 Fine F Orange Medium M Yellow Coarse C Blue Very Coarse VC Green Extremely Coarse XC White >450 Degree of Atomization Droplet Size (Microns) Relative Size Relative Size Related to Common Objects Fog Up to 20 Point of Needle (25 Microns) Fine Mist Human Hair (100 Microns) Fine Drizzle Sewing Thread (150 Microns) Light Rain Staple (420 Microns) Thunderstorm #2 Pencil Lead Rain (2000 Microns) Droplet sizes are usually expressed in microns (micrometers). One micron equals one thousandth of a millimeter. Other than the effects of the specific material being sprayed, the four major factors effecting droplet size are: tip style, capacity, spraying pressure and spray pattern type. Lower spraying pressures provide larger droplet sizes, while higher spraying pressures yield smaller droplet sizes. The smallest droplet sizes are achieved by air atomizing tips. Generally speaking, the largest spray droplets are produced by wide-angle, flat hydraulic spray tips. In the hydraulic spray tip series, the smallest droplet sizes are produced by hollow-cone spray tips. 64

72 Spray Tip Information Guide Spray quality is the first requirement to fill. Determine what type of function is to be performed, under what conditions, and the results expected. Spray tips are, by design, multipurpose. You may find that more than one spray tip quality will meet your needs. F l ow fo rm of the spray tip va ries with pressure. This requirement is ve ry stra i g h t fo r wa r d. The pressure at which you plan to use the spray tip is interrelated to all the other requirements. It takes a four-fold increase in pressure to double the flow from any set point. Spray angle is also affected by pressure. Pressure is responsible for changes in the spray angle and effective coverage. Spray tips used below the recommended pressure produce a narrow, weak pattern and coverage. If you use a pressure that exceeds the spray tip s pressure range, you run the risk of uncontrollable drift. You should always pick a spray tip that will perform at the complete range of pressure with which you will be applying your liquid.
