Using dual fan nozzles insures a better reach of “hidden” weeds, while spraying areas covered with organic material, especially when using asymmetric dual fan nozzles with different angles of penetration. The coverage on small leaf weed grass improves as well. Spraying growth regulators requires a coarse spray to reduce drift risk, important when spraying close to sensitive neighbour crops or non-agricultural areas.
When Spraying contact fungicides at late development stages, the use of dual fan nozzles is a “must”. When using TurboDrop® nozzles, increase pressure to reach medium droplet size, if conditions permit.
For contact fungicides use nozzles at a pressure range where droplet size is medium, if permitted. Using dual fan nozzles will improve coverage, even where spray has to be coarse to reduce drift or because of legal restrictions.

At initial growth stages TD HiSpeed nozzles will permit higher application speeds. Where drift reduction is required select nozzle size/type with at least coarse spray quality.
From growth stage 32 onwards, hose drops can be used for root/stem treatment with insecticides or fungicides, also in combination with liquid fertiliser. Adjust hose drop height to prevent spray pattern from reaching green parts of the plant. For late application of liquid fertiliser, the use of hose drops is highly recommended.

Use at least coarse spray for desiccation. TD HiSpeed nozzles are coarse at lower pressure plus the asymmetric dual fan improves coverage helping to reach hidden leaves for complete leaf burn of the crop.
Using TurboDrop® nozzles at higher pressure, while spraying coarse, improves penetration into dense canopies. Reducing application speed will result in a better penetration; this is also recommended when using TD HiSpeed nozzles.
Adjusting speed and application rates in accordance with the leaf area helps to guarantee efficacy of the application. For best penetration, limit application speed even when using asymmetric TD HiSpeed nozzles.

Asymmetric dual fan nozzles can better target weeds covered by broad rape leaves, as well as small grass weeds, before they appear in-between the crop. Spray coarse under drift conditions.
At late development stages and in dense canopies respectively, using TurboDrop® nozzles at higher pressures, while spraying coarse to medium, has proven good results. Use coarse where drift reduction is required.
Treatments against canola pollen beetle at flowering show excellent results using the TD HiSpeed nozzles. For best penetration and efficacy in dense canopies reduce application speed.

Application professionals opinion on asymmetric TurboDrop® HiSpeed nozzles Sonderdruck aus den DLG-Mitteilungen 1/2010
»The costs of the spray nozzles are bits and pieces compared to the spending for a complete sprayer or the chemicals used in one season. Thus only get the best of the best.« (»Nozzle technology: Decisive interface«, published in profi 02/2011)
»The costs of the spray nozzles appear high, but are more than reasonable considering their performance, longevity and the low application expenses per acre.«
H
albe Wassermenge gleich doppelte Schlagkraft: Dies ist eine gewagte These, über die derzeit viel diskutiert wird. Praktiker experimentieren schon länger mit der Wassermenge; 170 bis 180 l sind keine Seltenheit mehr. Da reizt es natürlich, den großen Schritt zu gehen und auf 100 l/ha Wasser und weniger zu reduzieren. Das spart nicht nur Wasser, sondern auch Diesel und Zeit. Aber liefert solch eine Anwendung bei der Bekämpfung von Pilzkrankheiten des Getreides tatsächlich gleichwertige Ergebnisse zur üblichen Standardanwendung mit 8 km/h und 200 l/ha?
PSP
...aber auch weniger Wirkung? Kosten senken heißt heute oft: Schneller fahren mit 14 km/h und weniger als 200 l/ha. Harald Kramer stellt einen Großversuch mit Fungiziden vor, der die Grenzen auslotet.

TurboDrop® HiSpeed nozzle
▪ Creates spray “shadow” at the backside of the leaf/stem
▪ All around coverage of front and back side of the plant
▪ Less coverage at lower leaf canopy levels at higher application speeds
▪ Downwards front pattern for good penetration to stem base especially at reduced application speeds
Six good reasons for using asymmetric dual fan TurboDrop® nozzles HiSpeed or TD ADF ▪ TD HiSpeed nozzles are officially listed for drift reduction for 90 % / 75 % / 50 % in Germany and other countries ▪ A nozzle that nearly covers all applications and crops – fewer changes of nozzles required ▪ 2 in 1 functionality – front spray similar to standard single flat fan nozzle, back spray with elevated spray pattern, optimising coverage ▪ Excellent results at low, medium and high application speeds ▪ TD ADF; economical long lasting poly version ▪ Low variation of droplet size over a wide pressure range guarantees a constant spray quality TD HiSpeed 110-025 herbicide application in sugar beets

The TurboDrop® TD-XL nozzles use as a distribution nozzle a TipCap which is exactly twice the size of the TurboDrop® injector. For example, a TD-XL 110-04 nozzle consists of a red injector (ISO code for size 04) and a white TipCap (ISO code for size 110-08), but flow rate is determined by the red injector.
▪ Variable droplet spectra from coarse to fine as pressure increases ▪ Excellent drift reduction, especially at lower pressure ▪ Offers a wide range in terms of pressure and droplet size ▪ Easy cleaning, only two parts, no small parts, no fumbling ▪ Distributing nozzle/cap is a TipCap nozzle ▪ Perfect if application conditions and application rates change frequently ▪ Maximum wear resistance in the semi-ceramic version (injector with ceramic orifice coated in POM) ▪ Best price for excellent quality

QuantoFill M
QuantoFill M QuantoFill M is a dosing and transfer unit for safe, accurate and contamination-free preparation of the spray liquid when filling the tank on a sprayer or nurse truck.
QuantoFill M JKI approved by
G 1930
The QuantoFill M automates the procedure of measuring and pouring the liquid spray chemicals into the sprayer tank, saving time and avoiding dosage errors. Up to five different chemicals can be connected to the QuantoFill M. The unit automatically calculates the correct volume of each chemical to be transferred based on the application rate of each product, the water rate and the treatment area or tank volume. The products will be dosed in the correct sequence, and the system is flushed in between chemical doses. The QuantoFill M is available for connection of up to three or five different chemicals. More info and technical details on request.
Advantages of the QuantoFill M ▪ Reduced calculation and measuring errors when preparing the spray liquid ▪ Reduced filling time = increasing efficiency ▪ Easy handling of up to 25 different chemicals through data input before spray season ▪ Environmentally and operator friendly by avoiding direct contact with the product and spilling (using MicroMatic valves) ▪ Avoiding residual amount of spray liquid by automatically calculating the correct volume for each product spraying subareas or partial tank filling at end of treatment

Improving N-efficacy, reducing the environmental impact of slurry applications through the accurate use of Nitrogen stabilisers ▪ Reducing N-losses through soil leaching ▪ Less use of additional mineral fertiliser ▪ More flexibility in timing of the application ▪ Environmentally friendly, reducing the emission of nitrous oxides ▪ Long term, tailored supply of nitrogen to plant roots
28
QuantoFill dosing device for Nitrogen stabilisers, to be used at slurry filling stations, slurry tanks or on self-propelled slurry applicators The device automates the accurate dosing of the stabiliser into the slurry tank in an easy way. The QuantoFill dosing station for N-stabiliser contains an electric transfer pump and a flow meter. It is connected straight to the container with the stabiliser (e.g. a 200 l reservoir poly tank) and doses a pre-set mount of liquid automatically into the slurry tank. The required amount of liquid is easy to set and can be changed if needed. In this way it is easy to always add the correct amount of N-stabiliser filling the slurries; no extra time for measuring is required. For manual dosing, a kit with a flow meter and a manually controlled valve is available.

Application professional view on the easyFlow system Manfred Stark, swine nursery and broadacre farmer, Mainleus I’m using the easyFlow system since a couple of months and I’m excited about it. The incorporated rinsing of the empty containers convinces me. It works much better than using the rinsing nozzles of the chemical mixer. The fact that I’m avoiding any direct contact is also a big plus, as well as the possibility that the easyFlow fits also onto small sprayers.

Data measured with water at 20°C, pressure measured directly at the nozzle. Check application rate before spraying. E.g.: 150 l/ha at 10 km/ha requires a flow rate of 1.25 l/min at each nozzle, which can be obtained by setting pressure at 7.3 bar for nozzle size -02; 4.7 bar for size -025, 3.3 bar for size -03, 1.8 bar for size -04 or 1.2 bar for size -05.
