In nozzle method 1, the nozzle coverage on a boom is equal to which measurement?

• A. Nozzle spacing
• B. Spray width
• C. Tank width
• D. Pressure rating

Answer: (A)

In nozzle method 1, the coverage width along the boom is determined by the spacing between adjacent nozzles. Because you’re looking at how each nozzle contributes a strip of coverage, the distance from one nozzle to the next sets the width covered by the nozzle arrangement. This assumes the sprays from neighboring nozzles overlap enough to create a uniform band across that spacing.

Spray width describes the total field swath you’ll achieve, which depends on factors like travel speed and boom height rather than the individual nozzle spacing. Tank width isn’t a measure used for coverage along the boom, and the pressure rating affects droplet size and throw distance rather than the spacing between nozzle outputs.
