At MagrowTec, we’re committed to helping growers increase spray efficiency while reducing waste and environmental impact. One of the most overlooked yet critical factors in achieving this is droplet size.
Why Droplet Size Matters
The size of a spray droplet plays a major role in how well crop protection products are delivered to the target surface. Too small, and droplets can drift away before reaching the plant. Too large, and they may bounce off or run off the leaf, leading to wasted product and reduced effectiveness.
Optimal droplet size ensures:
- Better coverage on target surfaces
- Reduced drift, minimizing off-target contamination
- Improved absorption and effectiveness of active ingredients
- More efficient use of chemicals, reducing input costs
Balancing Drift and Coverage
Smaller droplets offer excellent coverage, but are prone to drift—especially in windy conditions. Larger droplets reduce drift risk but can lead to poor coverage and runoff. The key is to find a balance that suits the specific crop, weather conditions, and application method.
How MagrowTec Helps
Our patented technology enhances spray performance by:
- Improving droplet adherence, reducing bounce and runoff
- Producing a more consistent spray pattern, optimizing droplet size for each application
- Reducing drift while maintaining high-quality coverage
This means you can achieve better results with less, supporting both productivity and sustainability.
