110Recommendations for use

of nozzles and equipment

Dear customer,

for more than 40 years agrotop has produced pioneering products in the fi eld of plant protecting technology. Continuous development of nozzles for increasing effi cacy and decreasing environmental impact of the plant protection products led to the invention of the fi rst low drift nozzle Servodrop and the air induction nozzles TurboDrop®, AirMix®, VR and HiSpeed famous worldwide, and helped preserve plant protection products through protection of the environment with higher performance for farmers.

The new SoftDrop and SpotFan nozzles designed for digital PWM technology, chemical savings and maximum drift reduction point once again forward into the future.

Also in the fi eld of other important components of plant protection technology we continue to innovate, as is proven by the variety of our international awards and medals. The dosing devices and automatic disperser QuantoFill and the new closed transfer system easyFlow for liquid plant protection products supported by the safety-conscious industry are crucial steps forward to dosing accuracy and protection of user and environment to preserve a suffi cient number of active ingredients for agriculture. This also applies for our Dropleg® Beluga, which ensures the safe and eff ective application of diffi cult treatments.

In this brochure you will fi nd the latest application advice. Technical specifi cations of all products are collected in our product catalogue 110.

10°50°

Spray angleAnother characterisation of nozzles is their spray angle. The most common types are 110° on fi eld sprayers and 80° on onchard sprayers.

A distance of 25 instead of 50 cm is becoming more popular on fi eld sprayer booms. This enables the use of nozzles with 80° spray angle on these sprayers. The shorter distance between the nozzle and plant results in higher speed of droplets, less drift and better penetra-tion of the plant canopy.

Nozzle sizeDroplet size and fl ow rate is determined by the pressure. To reach the optimum droplet size at various fl ow rates nozzles are available in diff erent sizes. These sizes are characterised by diff erent fl ow rates at the same pressure. An international standard defi nes these sizes and their marking by color. Most nozzles from agrotop are available in this standarised sizes.

AirMix® nozzles in diff erent sizes.

Standard nozzles

Unlike the injector nozzles, where the expansion of the injected air helps to form the droplets leaving the distribution nozzle, standard nozzle tips have to break the liquid sheet into droplets strictly through pressure (hydraulic atomizing).

Lower pressure produces large droplets, whereas higher pressure makes the droplets fi ner. Standard nozzles produce fi ner, driftable droplets compared to venturi nozzles.

Venturi nozzles

These nozzles inject air into the liquid fl ow, using the „Venturi principle“. Air and liquid are mixed, forming larger droplets with air bubbles inside. Drift risk is reduced with these droplets, also under diffi cult conditions.

Venturi nozzles enable a wider pressure range for optimum droplet size compared to standard nozzles. Speed or application rate can be varied in a wider range compared to standard nozzles.

The AirMix® nozzle – How does it work?The metering orifi ce at the top of the injector controls the fl ow and injects a jet into it. This jet passes a second orifi ce where it takes in the air.The air stream is cleaned by passing through the spray pattern, preventing the orifi ce from clogging.

Nozzle technology

TurboDrop® StandardThe standard version of the TurboDrop® injector is mounted on the nozzle holder with a common bayonet lock. For installation no tools are needed, and gloves may be worn. Nozzle are sized in accordance with ISO standard, made from POM or POM with dosing plate from ceramic.

TurboDrop® Uni ClipThe Uni Clip version was developed for sprayers without standard bayonet nozzle holders. With cap nuts or special bayonet caps older sprayer can be equiped with Turbo-Drop® nozzles.

The TurboDrop® systemUnique venturi nozzle design, built as a modular system. The nozzle for professionals, large farms and contractors.

TurboDrop® nozzles are built as a modular system. The fl ow rate is determined by the injector, the distribution cap forms the spray pattern and the droplet size. Injectors are combinable with various distribution caps with a standard bayonet lock. So droplet size and spray pattern can be adapted easily to the operating conditions.

TurboDrop® VRTo keep a constant application rate with a high variability in speed, often PWM technology or a system for automatic nozzle changing is used. These techniques are very expensive, heavy and because of their complexity also prone to failure.

The same result as these technologies can be reached with TurboDrop® VR nozzles. A integrated bypass valve opens slowly at a specifi c pressure to increase the fl ow rate continuously, with no variation in longitudinal distribu tion and less technical eff ort than using PWM technology or systems for automatic nozzle changing. One TurboDrop® VR size can replace up to three ISO nozzle sizes.

Application professionals opinion on asymmetric TurboDrop® HiSpeed nozzles

Asymmetric TurboDrop® HiSpeed or TD ADF is nozzle technology that pays off . Proven by independent test reports and millions of farmers around the world.

“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.”(“Which benefi t brings the new TurboDrop® HiSpeed”, published in Pfl anzenarzt 11+12/2009)

Sonderdruck aus den DLG-Mitteilungen 1/2010

H albe Wassermenge gleich doppelte Schlagkraft: Dies ist eine gewagte These, über

die derzeit viel diskutiert wird. Prakti-ker experimentieren schon länger mit der Wassermenge; 170 bis 180 l sind keine Seltenheit mehr. Da reizt es na-türlich, 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 Pilzkrank-heiten des Getreides tatsächlich gleichwertige Ergebnisse zur üblichen Standardanwendung mit 8 km/h und 200 l/ha?

Wer mit der Wasseraufwandmen-ge spielt, der muss vor allem den Einfluss der Düsentechnik und der Fahrgeschwindigkeit berücksichtigen, um die Wirksamkeit besonders der Fungizide zu unterschiedlichen Ein-satzterminen beurteilen zu können.

Wird eine Stellschraube im Spritzsys-tem verändert, zieht dies automatisch eine ganze Reihe weiterer Verände-rungen nach sich.

Behältergrößen und Arbeitsbreiten liegen in der Regel im betriebsüb-lichen Optimum. Hier gibt es nur we-nig Spielraum. Um eine weitere Leis-tungssteigerung zu erreichen, wird heute auf vielen Betrieben schneller gefahren und/oder einfach weniger Wasser verwendet. Die Betriebe wol-len mit dieser Strategie sowohl die Anwendungszeitpunkte besser treffen als auch die Arbeitserledigungskosten senken. Bei der Verwendung einer re-duzierten Wasseraufwandmenge steigt allerdings das Risiko unzurei-chender Wirkungen, gleichzeitig ist auch die Abdriftgefahr erhöht.

Aber zu diesen Zusammenhängen gibt es kaum Versuchsergebnisse. Aus diesem Grund haben im vergangenen Jahr die Firmen Agrotop, Amazone,

BASF und Jan Juister sowie die Land-wirtschaftskammer Nordrhein-West-falen gemeinsam einen Großversuch auf drei Praxisflächen in drei Bundes-ländern angelegt. Die Standorte lie-gen in Sachsen (Groitzsch in der Nähe von Dresden), Westfalen (Unna bei Dortmund) und Niedersachsen (Hunt-losen bei Oldenburg). Die gewählten Strategien lassen sich so beschreiben:● Standard: 200 l/ha, 8 und 14 km/h● Modern: 150 l/ha, 8 und 14 km/h● Risiko: 100 l/ha, 14 km/h

In den Versuchen kamen zwei un-terschiedliche Düsentypen zum Ein-satz (Übersicht): die Airmix als Kom-pakt-Injektordüse sowie die TD Hi-Speed als Doppelflachstrahldüse. Behandelt wurde zu den drei üblichen Fungizid-Terminen T1 (Stadium 32), T2 (Stadium 37/39 bzw. 49/51) und T3 (Stadium 63). Die Fungizide wa-ren Capalo zu T1, Champion-Dia-mant zu T2 und Osiris zu T3. Um Un-terschiede zwischen den Varianten besser sehen zu können, wurden die-se jeweils in reduzierter Aufwand-menge appliziert. Diese Versuche soll-ten zeigen, ob alle Strategien gleicher-maßen zum Erfolg führen. Sie sind keine Empfehlung zu reduzierten Mit-telmengen in der Praxis.

2009 war ein Jahr mit sehr spätem Krankheitsdruck im Weizen, was sich besonders in den Befallsbonituren und den Ertragsergebnissen nieder-

Weniger Wasser, weniger Mittel......aber auch weniger Wirkung? Kosten senken heißt heute oft:

Schneller fahren mit 14 km/h und weniger als 200 l/ha.

B rauchen Landwirte überhaupt Doppelflachstrahldüsen? Die-se Frage wird in den letzten

Jahren oft diskutiert. Weil Antworten

auf diese Frage rar sind, hat das DLR

Bad Kreuznach in den letzten drei

Jahren Belagsmessungen in Pflanzen-

beständen angestellt. Wir haben un-

tersucht, inwieweit Unterschiede zwi-

schen Flachstrahldüsen und Doppel-

flachstrahldüsen an verschiedenen

Zielobjekten nachweisbar sind. Be-

lagsmessungen heißt: Untersucht wird

der Spritzbelag, d. h. die Belagsmasse

auf Blättern! Denn wassersensitives

Papier, das gelegentlich für derartige

Messungen herangezogen wird, ist

zur Bewertung von Belagsmassen und

der Belagsverteilung nicht geeignet

(siehe Kasten auf Seite 3).Doppelflachstrahldüsen erzeugen

zwei fächerförmige Flachstrahlen, ur-

sprünglich mit 30° Abweichung von

der Senkrechten nach vorn und nach

hinten. Solche Düsenkonstruktionen

gibt es seit vielen Jahren: Bereits in

den 80er Jahren wurden solche Dü-

sentypen für Feldspritzgeräte angebo-

ten. Die damals verfügbaren Düsen

hatten aber mehrere gravierende

Nachteile. Weil Dosierung und Vertei-

lung allein durch den Austrittsquer-

schnitt der Düsenöffnung bestimmt

wurden, musste bei gleicher Flüssig-

keitsmenge jede der beiden Austritts-

öffnungen kleiner sein als bei einer

Düse mit nur einem Spritzfächer. Des-

halb war die Zerstäubung mit den da-

maligen Typen extrem feintropfig, da-

mit auch sehr driftanfällig und ver-

stopfungsanfällig. Die Düsenfertigung

war spanabhebend, was in der Praxis

dazu führte, dass die Düsen teuer wa-

ren und außerdem große Fertigungs-

toleranzen aufwiesen. Das Ergebnis

war eine schlechte Querverteilung.

Diese Doppelflachstrahldüsen haben

sich deshalb nicht durchgesetzt.Heutige Doppelflachstrahldüsen

sind Injektordüsen, d. h. die Dosie-

rung erfolgt an der Dosierblende am

Eingang zum Düsenkanal genau wie

bei Injektordüsen mit einem Spritzfä-

cher. Nur Zerstäubung und Strahlbil-

dung finden am Düsenaustritt durch

zwei Öffnungen statt. Damit sind alle

Vorteile von Injektordüsen gegeben,

insbesondere das bekannte, grobere

und abdriftfeste Tropfenspektrum.Die beiden Spritzfächer von Dop-

pelflachstrahldüsen waren und sind

meist 30° nach vorne und hinten zur

Senkrechten ausgerichtet. Damit soll

ein Spritzschatten bei vertikal ange-

ordneten Zielobjekten vermieden oder

wenigstens reduziert werden. Man

spricht von »Rundum-Belegung«. Mit der so genannten HiSpeed-

Düse kommt eine Variante hinzu, bei

der der vordere Spritzfächer nur 10°,

der zweite Spritzfächer aber 50° zur

Senkrechten steht. Diese asymmet-

rische Spritzfächeranordung soll die

Rund-um-Belegung weiter verbes-

sern, insbesondere bei höheren Fahr-

geschwindigkeiten. Eine solche Fä-

cheranordnung hat aber auch den

Vorteil, dass das Feldspritzgerät bei

höheren Beständen nicht direkt ange-

spritzt wird.

Untersuchungen in Weizen und in

Kartoffeln. Unsere Belagsmessungen

wurden in den Jahren 2007 bis 2009

in Weizen und Kartoffeln durchge-

führt. Die Einsatzbedingungen bei

den Versuchen zeigt die Übersicht.

Wir beschränken uns hier bei der Dar-

stellung auf den Weizen. Die Ergeb-

nisse für Kartoffeln sind über www.

DLG-Mitteilungen.de zugänglich.Wie sehen solche Belagsmes-

sungen aus? Wie das nebenstehende

Foto deutlich zeigt, wurde der Indika-

torfarbstoff Natriumfluorescein zu-

sammen mit einem in der Kultur üb-

lichen Pflanzenschutzmittel ausge-

bracht. Das ist besonders wichtig,

weil Pflanzenschutzmittel die Anlage-

rung und die Belagsbildung gravie-

rend beeinflussen. Anschließend ha-

ben wir die zu untersuchenden Pflan-

Nozzle technology

Six good reasons for using asymmetric dual fan TurboDrop® nozzles HiSpeed or TD ADF▪ TD HiSpeed nozzles are offi cially 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 fl at 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

Flat Fan nozzle▪ Creates spray “shadow” at the backside of the

leaf/stem

▪ Less coverage at lower leaf canopy levels at higher application speeds

TurboDrop® HiSpeed nozzle▪ All around coverage of front and back side of the

plant

▪ Downwards front pattern for good penetration to stem base especially at reduced application speeds

HerbicidesUsing 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 diff erent 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.

FungicidesWhen Spraying contact fungicides at late develop-ment stages, the use of dual fan nozzles is a “must”. When using TurboDrop® nozzles, increase pressure to reach medium droplet size, if conditions permit.

InsecticidesFor contact fungicides use nozzles at a pressure range where droplet size is medium, if permitted. Using dual fan nozzles will improve cover-age, even where spray has to be coarse to reduce drift or because of legal restrictions.

HerbicidesAt 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.

InsecticidesFrom 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.

HerbicidesUse at least coarse spray for desic cation. 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.

FungicidesUsing TurboDrop® nozzles at higher pressure, while spraying coarse, improves penetration into dense canopies. Reducing application speed will result in a better penetra-tion; this is also recommended when using TD HiSpeed nozzles.

InsecticidesAdjusting speed and application rates in accordance with the leaf area helps to guarantee effi cacy of the application. For best penetration, limit application speed even when using asymmetric TD HiSpeed nozzles.

Coloured mark on the filter case shows the Filter recommended by the manufacturer.

Because of its small size the nozzle strainer fulfi ls primarily a safety function to prevent nozzle blockages instead of fi ltering the liquid.

To avoid blockages of the nozzle strainer the line fi lter has to be choosen one size fi ner than the nozzle strainer. The line fi lter provides most of the fi ltering performance, therefor it should be chosen in an adequate size and equipped with a fl ush valve.

The suction fi lter should protect the pump against bigger particles. It shouldn’t be too fi ne, otherwise the fi lter tends to clog and the negative pressure the pump has to operate against will be too high (load on the diaphragm). 32 mesh is fi ne enough for this application.

Closed transfer systems

QuantoFill M

QuantoFill M is a dosing and transfer unit for safe, accu-rate and contamination-free preparation of the spray liquid when fi lling the tank on a sprayer or nurse truck.

The QuantoFill M automates the procedure of measuring and pouring the liquid spray chemicals into the sprayer tank, saving time and preventing dosage errors. Up to fi ve diff erent 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 will be fl ushed in between chemical doses.

The QuantoFill M is available for connection of up to three or fi ve diff erent chemicals. More info and technical details on request.

Advantages of the QuantoFill M▪ Reduced calculation and measuring errors

when preparing the spray liquid

▪ Reduced fi lling time = increasing effi ciency

▪ Easy handling of up to 25 diff erent chemicals through data input before spray season

▪ Environmentally and operator friendly by preventing direct contact with the product and spilling (using MicroMatic valves)

▪ Preventing residual spray liquid by automatically calculating the correct volume for each product spraying subareas or partial tank fi lling at end of treatment

easyFlow is the fi rst closed, contamination-avoiding and self-cleaning transfer system for liquid plant protection pro ducts from sealed or non-sealed small PPP containers enabling the user to do partial or complete dosing. The easyFlow system is designed to fulfi ll all standards of environmental protection and opera-tional safety today and in the future.

Manfred Stark, swine nursery and broadacre farmer, MainleusI’m using the easyFlow system since a couple of months and I’m excited about it. The incorporated rinsing of the empty containers convinced 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 fi ts also onto small sprayers.

Data measured with water at 20 °C, pressure measured directly at the nozzle. Check application rate before spraying.

Example of use:1. Select designated application rate, e.g. 250 l/ha2. Determine application speed, e.g. 7.0 km/h3. Read required flow rate at each nozzle at 50 cm nozzle spacing for the selected specifications, e.g. 1.46 l/min4. Select on page 43 the nozzles and pressure combinations that will deliver this flow rate, e.g. AirMix® ISO size -04 at 2.5 bar or TurboDrop®

ISO size -025 at 6.0 bar. Please consider also the recommended pressure range of the nozzles, found on the individual nozzle pages earlier in this catalogue and droplet size info of the corresponding nozzles on page 32.
