• Justification:Reducing drift and achieving consistent coverage through the use of the new 642E (replaces the current 642) and Redball® Hoods for cotton growers and preparing for upcoming technologies. The economical 642E:
  • Has less moving parts
  • Includes PVC/polyurethane blended core hoses which help provide better chemical resistance
  • Features a triple rinse tank option to reduce the risk of chemical residue
• Objective: Introduce cotton growers to a simple and economical hooded sprayer to limit drift and maintain better coverage of pesticides while reducing the risk of chemical residue.
• Materials & Methods: As a result of 2013 testing and user experience, engineered a hooded sprayer that reduces drift allowing users to spray field borders, buffer zones or the entire field while limiting the risk of chemical residue. Contracted the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, West Central Research and Extension Center in North Platte, Neb. to further verify drift reduction and coverage while using Redball® Broadcast Hoods.
• Results: Present to cotton growers the environmental and economical benefits of the 642E set up with a triple rinse tank and PVC/polyurethane blended core hoses.
