Common interchangable nozzles for perennial crop canopy sprayers
No full textThe nozzles on your sprayer can significantly influence the efficacy of your pest management program. They influence how much product is delivered (application rate), the spray pattern on the target crop, and droplet size. Sprayers with interchangeable nozzles, such as Rear’s air blast, Turbo-mist, or Quantum Mist, require the operator to select, or change, the type of nozzle that is installed based on the canopy or field parameters. However, there are several different attributes that commercial nozzles have that can make the selection of a nozzle daunting. Such attributes include nozzle resistance to abrasion, nozzle body design, droplet size produced, and nozzle spray pattern
2019 cost estimates of establishing, producing, and packing Granny Smith apples in Washington
No full textThe results presented in this WSU publication serve as a general guide for evaluating the feasibility of producing Granny Smith apples in Washington State as of 2019. This publication is not intended to be a definitive guide to production practices, but it is helpful in estimating the physical and financial requirements of comparable plantings. To avoid drawing unwarranted conclusions for any particular orchard, readers must closely examine the assumptions made in this guide, and then adjust the costs, returns, or both as appropriate for their own orchard operation
