What component of application equipment produces pesticide droplets when pesticide solutions are sprayed?

Nozzles are critical components of application equipment that specifically serve the purpose of producing pesticide droplets when pesticide solutions are sprayed. They are designed to create a fine mist or stream of droplets that ensure the effective distribution of the pesticide over a target area. The design of the nozzle, including its size and type, directly influences the droplet size and dispersion pattern, which can significantly affect the efficiency and efficacy of the pesticide application.

Pumps, while essential for moving the pesticide solution through the system, do not create droplets. They deliver the solution at the required pressure but do not play a role in the actual formation of spray particles. Filters are used to prevent debris from clogging the nozzle or damaging the equipment but are not involved in droplet formation. Hoses transport the pesticide from the tank to the nozzle but do not contribute to the production of droplets either.
