Fertilizer Sprayer Nozzles

Fertilizer nozzles for use in applying liquid fertilizer to soil surfaces in bare ground, seeded crop and existing crop applications. Also known as solid stream nozzles, fertilizer nozzles are available in single stream, 3 stream, 6 stream and 7 stream models. Fluid streams are equal in velocity and flow capacity for even distribution of fertilizer products. The fertilizer nozzle type is designed to direct fertilizer solutions at an angle, reduced height or solid stream that avoids depositing chemicals on plant structures that can cause damage. Employing fertilizer sprayer nozzles and their proper use can significantly reduce the potential for leaf burn, scorching and spray drift. Fertilizer nozzles are engineered for use with fertilizer solutions and not recommended for use with protection chemicals such as pesticides. This is due to coverage and over-deposition concerns. Fertilizer nozzles are made for use with boom sprayers and for providing stream integrity designed to prevent plant damage.

Fertilizer sprayer tip fabrication material options to match spray chemical compatibility and include, acetal polymer, polyacetal, polyacetal composite, ceramic and stainless steel. Various GPM flow rate tip options are available and can range from 0.2 GPM up to 6.0 GPM depending on nozzle type. Available fertilizer nozzle color options vary but are used to visually distinguish tip flow rates.
