Pre Em Nozzles

[Boysground]

I have been looking at pre em nozzles. Have tried all sorts over the years from flat fans to Hawk nozzles then Defy nozzles. For the last couple of years I have been using guardian air 04 at 150l which seem to be ok and not too bad with drift in the autumn. I was reading the Syngenta website and they are suggesting an 06 Teejet at 200l and 2 bar for minimum drift at 12kph. I was wondering if anybody had tried these? I have improved my water supply so 200l wouldnt be too much hassle.

We use the Syngenta ones (brown). Very good. Don't go too fast.

Defy if it's fairly still or Guardian air if needs must. So GA a lot

At the mo I seem to use the 04 guardian air for almost everything. Think it may be worth a try on the 06

I found those tee jet 06 too coarse and a bit of a one trick pony so use 05 AG and 05 Defy and can use them for other jobs at other times of year.

Defy.
Plus drizzle.

Angled caps with Bubblejets, alternating facing forwards and backwards. Just keep water volumes up so the nozzles run at higher pressure. When the wind gets up, slow down to 2 bar or less to reduce drift.

Bear in mind that Syngenta are trying to protect the approval of Defy by seriously reducing the drift. I've no idea if they have improved the efficacy

Defy is meh anyway.

It's another weapon in our armoury.

Standard Bubblejet's


Move along there’s nothing else to see here....

I used to use the Defy angled jets, then switched to the Guardian Air equivalent.
Tend to use them for just about everything now. Brilliant if it is a bit too windy and the wind seems to go round them and there is no drift. Very good coverage and for the first time in years, Atlantis seemed to work again!

Agree to an extent, useful for BLW control though, even at reduced rates when mixed with other stuff.
