    What's your nozzle of choice for foliar fertilizer applications? PGR applications? I've only got 1 set of nozzles, TurfJets 1/4TTJ04.

    Turfjet has a very large droplet size so its not really good as a foliar or contact nozzle. I'd either go with a XRC teejet if drift is not an issue or an AIC if it is.

    For fairway foliar and PGR applications we use a Teejet AIC nozzle. For all green and tee applications (spray hawk) we use XR nozzles.

    We use xr11004 for foliar apps at 40 GPA for greens and 25 gpa for fairway apps. For systemic fungicide apps we use xr11008 at 80GPA.

    Greenleaf Turbo twin fan (TDCTW 08) here. 87 GPA for greens, 35 GPA for fairways/tees/roughs

    On our 3rd season with these with the ceramic orfice. These things are great, best pattern and coverage of any nozzle I've used previously.

    We utilize Teejet XR 110-08 for all of our applications. We adjust ground speed and pressure to 50 gal/acre or 1.1 gal/1000 and 88 gal/acre or 2 gal/1000 that we have found best for our Anthracnose and Pythium apps. I did utilize rain drop nozzles back about 7 years ago, which we found didn't give us the coverage we wanted to extend residuals that extra couple days with our fungicide apps. Drift generally isn't an issue. Hope this helps.

    I use the white ones of those, 100gallons/acre on greens, 50gal/acre on tees/fwys theres just too much wind here to go with a small droplet size. Even on windy days there is very limited drift with these nozzels

    These are the best nozzles I've used yet. Absolutely no streaking at 100 GPA and pressures of 35-55 psi.

    TeeJet AIC 11010VS use it to spray at rates from 44 to 88 adjust speed to maintain pressure at 40-50psi. I'm happy with the coverage and am thrilled with the drift control I get.
