What color code indicates a nozzle that produces extra fine spray droplets?

The color code that indicates a nozzle producing extra fine spray droplets is purple. This color coding system is standardized and helps applicators select the right nozzle for specific spraying applications, ensuring that they can effectively manage drift and coverage on target areas.

Nozzles that produce extra fine droplets are designed to deliver a high degree of atomization, which is beneficial in situations requiring highly targeted applications, such as when working with sensitive crops or during conditions where minimizing drift is crucial. Using the correct nozzle color not only improves the efficiency of pesticide application but also helps in adhering to environmental regulations by reducing the risk of drift to non-target areas.

In contrast, other colors indicate different droplet sizes, such as red for ultra-coarse, blue for medium, and yellow for coarse. Each of these options is designed for specific applications that would not produce the same fine droplet size necessary for certain tasks, highlighting the importance of using the right color code to achieve the desired spray quality.
