The ITR nozzle 80-01 C is an injector hollow cone nozzle which produces a droplet spectrum from extremely coarse to coarse and works with extremely low drift (95%). "During development, we focused primarily on the practical control of the spotted wing drosophila in viticulture," says Jens Luckhard, Head of Application Technology Central Europe at Syngenta. "The reduction of drift to a minimum now makes it possible to approve certain insecticides that were previously not possible."
After an elaborate test program, the ITR nozzle 80-01 C has now been included in the current JKI directory of loss-reducing devices. This enables winegrowers to apply insecticides in the grape zones in viticulture by simply changing the nozzles, while complying with the drift reduction class 95 %.
