Herbicides
At initial growth stages TD HiSpeed nozzles will
permit higher application speeds. Where drift
reduction is required select nozzle size/type
with at least coarse spray quality.
Insecticides
From growth stage 32 onwards, hose drops can
be used for root/stem treatment with insecticides
or fungicides, also in combination with liquid
fertiliser. Adjust hose drop height to prevent spray
pattern from reaching green parts of the plant.
For late application of liquid fertiliser, the use of
hose drops is highly recommended.

Herbicides Fungicides Insecticides

Use at least coarse spray for
desiccation. TD HiSpeed nozzles
are coarse at lower pressure
plus the asymmetric dual fan
improves coverage helping
to reach hidden leaves for com-
plete leaf burn of the crop.
Using TurboDrop® nozzles at higher
pressure, while spraying coarse,
improves penetration into dense
canopies. Reducing application
speed will result in a better penetra-
tion; this is also recommended
when using TD HiSpeed nozzles.
Adjusting speed and application rates
in accordance with the leaf area helps
to guarantee efficacy of the application.
For best penetration, limit application
speed even when using asymmetric
TD HiSpeed nozzles.

Asymmetric dual fan nozzles
can better target weeds
covered by broad rape leaves,
as well as small grass weeds,
before they appear in-between
the crop. Spray coarse under
drift conditions.
At late development stages and
in dense canopies respectively,
using TurboDrop® nozzles at
higher pressures, while spraying
coarse to medium, has proven
good results. Use coarse where
drift reduction is required.
Treatments against canola
pollen beetle at flowering
show excellent results using
the TD HiSpeed nozzles.
For best penetration and
efficacy in dense canopies
reduce application speed.

TurboDrop® TD ADF 110-03 and -04

Rustin Gilder from Crowley Grain Dryer in Crowley Louisiana, USA

Crops: Rice and soybeans
These nozzles give great coverage, on top and down into the canopy of our crops.
Easy to maintain and clean. They spray deeper into the canopy. Coverage is worth paying for!
(Rustin uses the TD ADF nozzles at 15–23 mph, rates are around 10 GPA.)

Matthias Kappe, Thüringer Landdienste GmbH, Lemnitz, Germany

Spray contractor
We, the TLD GmbH, are a professional application specialist in the region of east Thuringia.
Using the TurboDrop® HiSpeed nozzles 110-04 enables us to adjust our sprayers easily to the changing humidity
and temperature conditions while spraying in the field. In addition the TurboDrop® HiSpeed nozzles allow us to
increase our applications speed and therefore our area capacity.

Six good reasons for using

asymmetric dual fan TurboDrop®
nozzles HiSpeed or TD ADF
▪ TD HiSpeed nozzles are officially listed for drift
reduction for 90 % / 75 % / 50 % in Germany
and other countries
▪ A nozzle that nearly covers all applications and
crops – fewer changes of nozzles required
▪ 2 in 1 functionality – front spray similar to
standard single flat fan nozzle, back spray with
elevated spray pattern, optimising coverage
▪ Excellent results at low, medium and high
application speeds
▪ TD ADF; economical long lasting poly version
▪ Low variation of droplet size over a wide
pressure range guarantees a constant spray

Application options for liquid fertilisers

▪ Single flat fan venturi nozzles with extra coarse
spray quality, like AirMix® or TurboDrop®, are
suitable for fertiliser applications at low pressure
▪ Liquid fertilisers and PPP (plant protection
products) can be applied together, use spray
nozzles
▪ Using special 3- or 6-stream fertiliser nozzles will
reduce the risk of leaf burning
▪ Distribution with 6-stream nozzles is slightly
better
▪ At late crop growth stages, the use of hose drops
is recommended

QuantoFill M

QuantoFill M
QuantoFill M is a dosing and transfer unit for safe, accu-
rate and contamination-free preparation of the spray
liquid when filling the tank on a sprayer or nurse truck.
The QuantoFill M automates the procedure of
measuring and pouring the liquid spray chemicals into
G 1930 the sprayer tank, saving time and avoiding dosage
QuantoFill M errors. Up to five different chemicals can be connected
JKI
approved by
to the QuantoFill M.
The unit automatically calculates the correct volume
of each chemical to be transferred based on the
application rate of each product, the water rate and
the treatment area or tank volume. The products will
be dosed in the correct sequence, and the system is
flushed in between chemical doses.

The QuantoFill M is available for connection of

up to three or five different chemicals. More info
and technical details on request.

Advantages of the QuantoFill M

▪ Reduced calculation and measuring errors
when preparing the spray liquid
▪ Reduced filling time = increasing efficiency
▪ Easy handling of up to 25 different chemicals
through data input before spray season
▪ Environmentally and operator friendly
by avoiding direct contact with the product
and spilling (using MicroMatic valves)
▪ Avoiding residual amount of spray liquid
by automatically calculating the correct volume
for each product spraying subareas or partial
tank filling at end of treatment

Improving N-efficacy, reducing the

applications through the accurate

▪ Less use of additional mineral fertiliser
▪ More flexibility in timing of the application
▪ Environmentally friendly, reducing the
emission of nitrous oxides
▪ Long term, tailored supply of nitrogen to

stabilisers, to be used at slurry filling
stations, slurry tanks or on self-propelled
slurry applicators
The device automates the accurate dosing of the
stabiliser into the slurry tank in an easy way.
The QuantoFill dosing station for N-stabiliser contains an
electric transfer pump and a flow meter. It is connected
straight to the container with the stabiliser (e.g. a 200 l
reservoir poly tank) and doses a pre-set mount of liquid
automatically into the slurry tank. The required amount
of liquid is easy to set and can be changed if needed.
In this way it is easy to always add the correct amount
of N-stabiliser filling the slurries; no extra time for mea-
suring is required. For manual dosing, a kit with a flow
meter and a manually controlled valve is available.

ring and drilling jig
▪ easyFlow container adapter for PPP
containers up to 10 l with 63 mm neck thread
▪ Rinsing nozzle incorporated in container

easyFlow is the first closed, contamination-avoiding and self-cleaning transfer system for liquid plant protection products
from sealed or non-sealed small PPP containers enabling the user to do partial or complete dosing. The easyFlow system
is designed to fulfill all standards of environmental protection and operational safety today and in the future.

Application professional view on the easyFlow system

Manfred Stark, swine nursery and broadacre farmer, Mainleus

I’m using the easyFlow system since a couple of months and I’m excited about it.
The incorporated rinsing of the empty containers convinces me. It works much better
than using the rinsing nozzles of the chemical mixer. The fact that I’m avoiding any
direct contact is also a big plus, as well as the possibility that the easyFlow fits also
onto small sprayers.

Data measured with water at 20°C, pressure measured directly at the nozzle. Check application rate before spraying.
E.g.: 150 l/ha at 10 km/ha requires a flow rate of 1.25 l/min at each nozzle, which can be obtained by setting pressure at 7.3 bar for nozzle
size -02; 4.7 bar for size -025, 3.3 bar for size -03, 1.8 bar for size -04 or 1.2 bar for size -05.
