Phytosanitary treatments and quality of weed control depends on the amount of the used liquids, the uniformity of the distribution per area, the coverage and penetration of the vegetal mass, the flow rate of the liquid and the size of the formed droplets. Most of these parameters are accomplished by nozzles. Nozzles are the most important parts of the spraying machines. They turn the herbicide mixture in small drops that are thrown towards the target surface. This jet drops contains particles of different sizes. Nozzles are components that turn the under pressure liquid column into a spray of drops, called jet.
