To achieve a better spray coverage you will need to apply a fixed swath width as you traverse the paddy. Mark the field with canes one swath width apart. Spray one swath width at a time with the nozzles at the correct height as calibrated. Keep the nozzles steady, do not swing the boom from side to side. Turn the spray off when you have finished spraying your current swath before turning from one swath to the next.
Check your pesticide label for advice on good, safe spraying practices and watch our video on cleaning PPE for advice on decontaminating your PPE.
