Are Boomless sprayers any good?

Boomless sprayers are typically easier to maneuver, as they offer a more compact setup than that of a boom sprayer. Boomless sprayers are typically used for spraying ditches, fence lines, rough terrain, around objects that require sharper turns (think poles and trees), as well as woods and trails.

What are Boomless nozzles?

Boomless nozzles are used for vegetative management activities where it’s not practical, or sometimes even impossible, to use a horizontal boom. Enter the boomless nozzle. Unlike a typical flat fan nozzle, these nozzles direct spray laterally in one or two directions, creating a very wide spray pattern.

What kind of nozzle do I need for boomjet?

The nozzle assembly provides good distribution considering the wide pattern coverage obtained; however, the uniformity is not as good as with a properly operated boom sprayer. Supplied with one additional 1/4″ NPT pipe plug and one blank tip for setting BoomJet to one side only.

Which is the best boomless nozzle in the market?

Swath width was considerably less than manufacturers claimed in the tall wheat (Graph 3). Based on width of control, the WCJ had the widest swath. Swath width was somewhat less than manufacturers claimed in the short wheat (Graph 4). Based on width of control, the XT had the widest swath.

What’s the difference between a flat fan and a boomless nozzle?

Unlike a typical flat fan nozzle, these nozzles direct spray laterally in one or two directions, creating a very wide spray pattern.

What should the droplet size be on a boomless sprayer?

Swath width was somewhat less than manufacturers claimed in the short wheat (Graph 4). Based on width of control, the XT had the widest swath. Median droplet size ranged from 684 to 799 microns (Graph 5). If we assume the preferred range for coverage/weed control is 300-500 microns, all nozzles were on the high end.
