Boomless nozzles work with boomless spraying technology to provide chemical coverage to areas otherwise unreachable by boom spraying systems. Boomless systems were designed for application over areas with uneven ground or obstructions inaccessible to boom systems, like the roadside, powerlines, agricultural applications, and even golf courses.

How Do Boomless Nozzles Work?

Boomless nozzles direct spray horizontally in a single direction, which creates a wide spray pattern similar to that of an irrigation head. This differs from a typical flat fan nozzle and enables the boomless nozzles the ability to provide uniform coverage to large areas.

The Boomless Nozzle Advantage

Boomless Nozzles have many advantages for many users, and users have reported that using boomless nozzles has saved their operation both time and money. 

Advantages include:

• Increasing spray width and application speed

• Able to cover significant acreage in a shorter time 

• Less chance of nozzle clogging

• Tight, precise access to the intended area of application

Accuracy

Boomless nozzles are highly accurate and provide effective and easy coverage of fertilizer and pesticide applications to a variety of intended sites. Coverage is similar to that of typical boom nozzle systems but provides much more accurate coverage of hard-to-reach areas. 

Considerations for Choosing a Boomless System

In order to maximize the performance of your Boomless Nozzles and systems, you should consider the following practical considerations. 

• Each herbicide has a unique mode of action. Assess nozzles for their performance and control with the herbicide you intend to use.

• You may need to adjust your swath width based on vegetation height, as well as the pump and nozzle type. Consider this when choosing your boomless nozzle.

• Knowing the effective pattern width will allow you to optimize coverage and weed control.

• Adjust your swath width for spraying nozzles mounted on ATVs or Four-Wheelers in order to minimize drift rather than mounting the nozzles high at their manufacturer-intended swath width.

• Boomless nozzles may be difficult to pressurize using pumps typically found on ATV-mounted spray systems. Exchanging this pump for a more powerful tractor-type roller pump may be advantageous to the user.
