New Nozzle Evens Spray Despite Obstacles
The SymphonyNozzle by Precision Planting is a pulse-width modulation system (PWM) that can be installed and serviced on existing self-propelled or pull-type sprayers. It gives you independent control over rate and pressure to ensure consistent droplet sizes over the entire field. The nozzle lets you visualize real-time application metrics and maps on a 20/20 monitor. This makes it possible to hit a preprogrammed target rate and pressure with minimal overlap, regardless of operating conditions. It’s possible to set a rate and pressure on the home screen and adjust it as necessary in the field.
Symphony will maintain consistent pressure across the boom and turn compensation for consistent spray coverage, a critical part of effectively killing weeds or stopping the spread of disease within a field. The nozzle control system uses camera technologies with artificial intelligence to vary the spray rate based on the weed size and pressure.
Targeted spraying can significantly reduce costs and improve efficiency compared to standard application rates. Likewise, it can fight against weed resistance often caused by partial herbicide coverage. Ensuring every weed gets covered the first time reduces the chances of them surviving long enough to proliferate.
The sprayer nozzle complements the Precision Planting ReClaim retrofit solution. ReClaim allows farmers to get maximum efficiency out of their spray chemicals. The retrofit boom priming and recirculation system lets applicators take spray from the tank to the boom and then flow back to prime the boom. The system will fit on most existing sprayers with electric or standard nozzles.
You can purchase the nozzles online from Precision Planting or through the company’s network of dealers. The company reports that the SymphonyNozzle can be assembled without special tools and doesn’t require technical knowledge to service or maintain.
