[QUOTE="Brisel, post: 7550360, member: 166"] Most of the LERAP 3* drift reducing nozzles only have that rating at 2 bar. I wouldn't want to go much lower than that & personally, I prefer to run a smaller nozzle at 3 bar most of the time so at least I have the option to slow down on headlands if it's a bit rough or breezy. Nozzle choice depends on what you are trying to hit and how your product works. Small target = higher volume and/or a finer spray. Large target = you can get away with a more coarse spray that gives you the widest window of opportunity to work. Contact only product = fine spray. Systemic/translocated product = ok to be more coarse. A flat fan is the best for most jobs but is the most drift prone. I use a air indiction nozzle for most work that puts out a finer spray quality than the really coarse "contractor nozzles" designed for getting through a big workload when the conditions aren't ideal. Bubblejets and Guardian Airs are at the finer end of the scale. [URL='https://eioperator.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/nozzle-selection-chart-2010-2014.pdf']Nozzle guide chart[/URL] [/QUOTE]
