Subject: sprayer problems


I have a 60 foot sprayer with the booms set up to spray 6-12-6 rows.

I had an unfortunate experience spraying Harmony on beans that resulted in obvious crop damage. Today I had to climb the leg and was looking at the nearby bean field, which now has a striped look. It looks like the middle section of the sprayer did less damage than the outside two sections of the boom.

I have 3/4" plumbing and 1" ball valves running a Micro-trak controller. Any idea what could have caused this problem? I haven't ever noticed this problem before, but I haven't ever sprayed anything that burned the crop either. I don't think there would be significant pressure differences between the 13 and 30 foot sections, especially with 3/4 plumbing.

Any ideas? I'm not the least bit happy about using Harmony, but that's a different problem.
