Defy nozzles?

[Salopian_Will]

Our defy nozzles are worn out. We have generally been using them at 100l/ha for spring herbicides. What other nozzles/water rates are people using for Broadway star etc or should we stick with what we know?

Also do people agree with the Syngenta blurb that 100l/ha with Defry nozzles is sufficient for Pre-em?

I use a bit more water than that for Broadway.

I tend to use air twin red for herbicides @ 150 l ha ish and bubble jet blue for fungicides around 100-120l ha

God know if I'm right or wrong.

They are recommending 200l/ha with defy now aren't they? Must say I went at 200l this autumn as didn't roll a lot of it, and have been very happy with results.

I think we’re too low at 100l/ha. Agronomist is pushing and I have seen evidence published to suggest higher water volume is better too. I’m just not sure I could face 200l/ha….

Severn Trent were running a nozzle swap scheme and so I took the opportunity to get some teejet air induction twin turbo nozzles (04s) which will allow us to move up to 150l/ha, which I think is my compromise.

I like my Defy, or Guardian air if it to windy, 035s at 150l but thought I would up my rate on pre em for the reasons I stated.

1) I use defy nozzles but at 160l/ha. Spray it on its own or with little bit of fungicide. Never with growth reg.

2) no, it’s not enough water
