Name: Don Boles City: Three Hills, Alberta CanadaSprayer Type: "Flexi-coil." Crops: "Peas, Wheat, Canola & Barley." Chemical: "Odessey, Achieve Extra Gold, Refine extra, Puma super, venture." GPA Rate: "3-11 GPA." Sprayer Speed: "12-28km/hr (7-17mph)." Pressure: "50-140psi." Wind: "0-40mph (0-25mph)." Acres: "3000." Did you use TurboDrop® differently from the way you have used other nozzles? "I sprayed in winds much higher than previously was safe; sprayed at much higher pressure." What other drift reduction products (nozzles, shields, adjuvants) have you tried? "Nozzles." Were there obvious differences? "Yes. Drift reduction." Was the coverage better/worse/same? "Same to better." Was chemical efficacy better/worse/same? "Same to better." What advantages did TurboDrop® offer in the following categories? DRIFT: "With the combination of TurboDrop® 01 (orange) and Turbo TeeJet® 11003 (blue), drift is virtually eliminated." SPRAYER SPEED: "Ran higher pressures, therefore higher speeds." WIND SPEED: "Was able to operate in significantly higher winds." WATER USAGE: "No change from previous practice." CHEMICAL USAGE: "No change from previous pratice." VARIABLE APPLICATION RATES W/SINGLE NOZZLE: "Ran 3-11 gallons with the same combo." COVERAGE: "Excellent." PENETRATION: "Not a factor on this type of weed control." Nozzle Plugging: "Zero." RUN-OFF: "Not a factor at these low water rates." Will the TurboDrop® nozzle pay for itself? (Is this technology cost effective?)"Yes. Eliminates wind screen need. Can spray in greater winds. More time in field." Additional Comments:"This combo should not be continuously operated under 40psi as droplets are/may be too large for good coverage. I would say 50+psi is better. A RE
VOLUTION IN SPRAYING."
