What type of pattern does a solid cone nozzle produce?

A solid cone nozzle produces a solid circular pattern, which is characterized by a consistent, rounded spray that delivers a concentrated stream of liquid to a specific target area. This type of nozzle is designed to create a uniform distribution of the pesticide or herbicide, ensuring that it adheres effectively to the vegetation or surface being treated.

The solid circular pattern is particularly useful for targeting specific areas and minimizing drift, allowing for better control over the application process. This pattern is beneficial in pest control situations where precision is critical, as it enables the applicator to cover a defined area without overlapping excessively and wasting product.

In contrast, other patterns produced by different nozzle types—such as wide flat fan or line patterns—serve different purposes and may not provide the same level of concentration and control as a solid circular pattern produced by a solid cone nozzle.
