What type of nozzle would you use for a band application?

  1. Cone nozzle

  2. Even flat fan or flat fan nozzle

  3. Hollow-cone nozzle

  4. Stream nozzle

The correct answer is: Even flat fan or flat fan nozzle

A flat fan nozzle, also known as an even flat fan nozzle, would be the best choice for a band application. This type of nozzle produces a narrow and even spray pattern, which is ideal for applying liquid or fertilizers in a band instead of over a wide area. The cone nozzle (A) would produce a full and circular spray pattern, which is not suitable for band applications. The hollow-cone nozzle (C) would produce a hollow and circular spray pattern, again not ideal for band applications. Lastly, the stream nozzle (D) would produce a concentrated and narrow stream of liquid, meaning it would not provide an even and consistent application in a band. Overall, the even flat fan nozzle (B) is the most appropriate choice for a band application because of its narrow and even spray pattern.
