Liquid Fert Nozzles

[Niteforce]

Going on to liquid fert and had more or less decided to go down the hardi quintastream or hypro esi nozzle. I then thought about if the six rear nozzles hit the frame/mudguards with the patteren.? Do they make a circular pattern or flat like a standard nozzle.? Is this a common problem.? Its a 09 build Househam AR 3000. Ive also been offered a set of omex bars to try for a season FOC but ive heard they can dribble all over when folding booms which doesnt sound good.

Look at the agroco nozzles from landquip.
I use them and get on very well.

Do these project forward so they might hit the frame.?

Lechler do an FD nozzle for fert, which I’ve used for 3 years, it like an anvil nozzle with the fert projecting backwards

Used the agroco nozzles and found them terrible - as did some friends, they’d scorch with water in let alone anything nitrogen based. We then all went to Hypro ESI and no one had an issue with scorching after that.

Chafer / omex dribble bars. You'll want to wash your sprayer after anyway.

No, backwards

I've had scorch in osr, but only on the dewaxed leaves.
Not had trouble in wheat, but I only use liquid AS, early.
Then it's all solid urea

Hardi quintastream has the same pattern as standard nozzles. I’ve used them for many years. I haven’t tried any other fertilizer nozzles, so i can’t say how they compare.

I use lechler fs 06 they were about £6 each I think don’t dribble and had no scotch this year used to use BFS dribble bars would break one every day I was using it and dribbled all over the sprayer

Looks like the Hardi jets are a popular choice and will have a look at the lechler nozzles also.[emoji1303]

We use Agroco's for ammonium sulphate and have very little scorch. Far less than we had with dribble bars. I think the key is to select the right one to keep the pressures down. Not just the pressure going into the nozzle, but select the nozzle with the right sized outlet holes so the the pressure coming out of the nozzle is low so the fert does not atomize.
Another plus for the agrocos is that they are not height sensitive.

I use the hypro esi and have no bother at all with them, don't think they will catch your frame at 1m high.
