How did you use the TurboDrop® Nozzle?
"Farmer owned sprayer using TDCFFP 110-05 (20" spacing) replacing flat fan nozzles. Switching to 110-08 (30" spacing) this year."

Which crops? "Corn, Wheat, Seed Corn, Beans & Snap Beans."

Chemical Rate: "We did not adjust rates because of changing nozzles."

Sprayer speed, pressure: "12-16 mph @ 40-90psi."

Did you use TurboDrop® differently from the way you have used other nozzles? If so, how?
"We wanted a nozzle better at higher pressures."

Were there obvious differences?
"Yes. Psi above 60lbs did not drift as much."

Was coverage better/worse/the same?
"Unknown."

Was chemical efficacy better/worse/the same?
"No side by side test done."

What advantages did TurboDrop® offer in the following categories?
DRIFT: "Much better at pressures above 60psi."
SPRAYER SPEED: "No change."
WIND SPEED: "We can spray and keep chemicals on target in higher wind speeds than before."
WATER USAGE: "No change."
CHEMICAL USAGE: "No change."
COVERAGE: "No testing done."
PENETRATION: "We feel it should be better when we can use the higher pressures."

Will the TurboDrop® nozzle pay for itself?
(Is this technology cost-effective?)
"By keeping the chemicals on target, I hope so."
