Summary: The objectives of the present studies were to compare the performance of an axial fan sprayer equipped with a standard HC nozzle configuration or AI nozzles in various configurations. Sprayer performance included measurements of spray drift, spray coverage throughout the tree canopy, and efficacy of thinning and cover sprays. In addition, the effects of each nozzle configuration on spray coverage and thinning efficacy were determined under different across-row wind speeds.
