Choosing the right Greenleaf Technologies’ TurboDrop and AirMix spray nozzles is now as easy as punching numbers into a smartphone.

The Covington, Louisiana-based manufacturer of agricultural spray nozzles offers NozzleCalc, a free app available for both iPhone and Android smartphones. NozzleCalc allows users to determine the correct droplet and nozzle sizes for any spray application.

When opened, NozzleCalc users enter their desired spraying speed, application rate and nozzle spacing. The app will then recommend various options and sizes of TurboDrop, AirMix and TurboDrop DualFan nozzles.

The app also contains a reference section about other Greenleaf products and industry terminology, as well as an autodial feature to connect the user with a Greenleaf representative.

“Chemical labels are recommending specific droplet sizes, which makes it imperative to select nozzles for droplet size and not simply gallons per acre,” said Will Smart, Greenleaf president. “We developed this app with the people who spray in mind. It provides the most convenient resource for ensuring accurate Greenleaf spray nozzle selection so users get the right droplet sizes for specific chemicals.”

In addition to being available for download at the Apple iTunes and Google Play stores, NozzleCalc can be downloaded from the Greenleaf website.
