For optimal performance, what should be considered when positioning outboard nozzles?

When positioning outboard nozzles for optimal performance, considering the percentage of wingspan is crucial. The placement of nozzles along the wingspan impacts the distribution and coverage of the pesticide being applied. Positioning nozzles at the correct percentage of the wingspan aids in ensuring that the pesticide is applied uniformly across the target area, minimizing the risk of drift and improving efficacy.

Proper positioning based on the wingspan helps in achieving a balanced spray pattern and promotes effective overlap during application. This strategic placement is essential for aerial applications because it allows for better management of the droplet size and drift potential, ultimately leading to a more effective pest management outcome.
