1b. Keep in mind that coarser droplets will generally get hung in the top of a canopy. They will NOT provide coverage into the mid-lower canopy by running down the plant. It doesn't really work this way. So, if you are spraying a contact-based application, you will require those smaller droplets to get into the canopy and have a chance at good coverage. If you are spraying 20GPA at anything 14MPH+ (ESPECIALLY if you are using a PWM system), you'd likely start benefiting by splitting up a flow rate into two more meaningful spray nozzles. This can be in a variety of ways (e.g. if you have access to 10" spacing, double-down adapters/nozzles, spraying with stacked nozzle bodies on 20" spacing, using angled nozzles if you dont have access to any other means of double-down type spraying setups)


Anyways, a fair bit of info there, but hopefully you find some of it to be helpful. When considering angled spraying, If I was using angled nozzles, I'd tend to sway towards being a bit coarser than you'd prefer spraying straight down to help the spray get down into the target area better before it shears off in the wind/sprayer speed/etc.

Let me know if you want any clarity on any of that info.
