How did you use the TurboDrop® Nozzle?
"Our TurboDrops were used on a Rogator 844 80ft. Boom, 20" spacing."

Chemical Rate: "Rates from ¼oz/AC to 1gal/AC."

Sprayer speed, pressure: "8mph to 14mph; 50psi to 100psi"

Weather conditions: "All weather conditions."

Did you use TurboDrop® differently from the way you have used other nozzles? If so, how?
"I used TurboDrops in windy conditions with no worries. With other nozzles I would not have sprayed!"

What other nozzles have you tried? "Turbo TeeJet™, XR TeeJet™"

Were there obvious differences?
"When we received our first set of TurboDrops, we took our Rogator and put ½ the boom with TDCFFP 11003's and the other half of the boom with Turbo TeeJet™ 11003's, ran the Rogator at a test speed of 11mph with 80psi. The difference in drift & droplet size was AMAZING."

Was coverage better/worse/the same?
"The coverage was SO much better."

Was chemical efficacy better/worse/the same?
"The chemical efficacy was better. In some cases the chemicals seemed to work faster!"

What advantages did TurboDrop® offer in the following categories?
DRIFT: "These nozzles produce very little to no drift."
SPRAYER SPEED: "Sprayer speed can increase with no problems or with no need to change nozzles."
WIND SPEED: "Wind speed does not seem to be a factor, to a certain extent."
WATER USAGE: "We did not play around with water usage. Kept everything the same."
CHEMICAL USAGE: "Did not change."
COVERAGE: "Without a doubt coverage was so much better."
PENETRATION: "Canopy penetration was so much better also."
RUN-OFF: "Run-off? What Run-off!?"

Will the TurboDrop® nozzle pay for itself?
(Is this technology cost-effective?)
"In the long run, these nozzles will pay for themselves because of the longer wear life. With the wind speed being almost a non-factor, productivity will increase, therefore service dollars will increase!"
