80° flat fan nozzles are particularly effective on sprayers with 10-inch spacing, offering an excellent balance of coverage, penetration, and drift control while maintaining lower boom height around 12-16 inches. The narrower spray pattern concentrates droplets into a smaller area, increasing droplet momentum and helping the move deeper into dense canopies.

Best suited for:

• Higher boom heights with 20-inch spacing
• 10-inch spacing
• Band Spraying
• Directed Spraying
• Dense crop canopies

Drift can be reduced by selecting coarser droplet nozzles like TeeJet's TURBO series, lowering boom height, reducing pressure, and spraying in suitable weather conditions. Air induction flat fan nozzles are often used where drift reduction is important.

Yes, although some application may benefit from twin flat fan or specialty spray tips where improved canopy penetration or coverage of vertical targets is required.

Nozzle size is selected using application rate, forward speed, nozzle spacing, and operating pressure. Matching these factors ensures the correct gallons per acre are applied across the field.

The most common causes are worn nozzles, blocked filters, incorrect boom height, insufficient overlap, pressure variation, or damaged spray tips.
