Which nozzle is used for applying herbicides and mixtures of herbicides and liquid fertilizers?

• A. Venturi
• B. Extended range flat-fan
• C. Flooding
• D. Broadcast

Answer: (C)

For applying herbicides and mixtures of herbicides and liquid fertilizers, you want a spray that wets the ground well with minimal drift. A flooding nozzle delivers a wide, flat spray with large droplets at low pressure, yielding high-volume coverage over the field. This makes it well suited for broadcast ground applications and for spraying liquid fertilizer–herbicide mixtures that need to reach soil and weeds rather than just foliage. Venturi devices are used to inject additives into the spray line, not for delivering a broad ground spray. Extended-range flat-fan nozzles reduce drift and are more focused on foliar applications, and broadcast refers to how the spray is spread rather than a specific nozzle type. So the flooding nozzle best fits the need.
