Why might boomless sprayers not be as uniform?

Boomless sprayers typically utilize off-center nozzles to disperse pesticides over an area. This design can lead to uneven application because the spray pattern produced by off-center nozzles might not achieve the same uniform coverage as nozzles aligned along a boom. In contrast, a boom equipped with multiple nozzles allows for a consistent distribution of the chemical across a specific width, ensuring that the application density is even throughout the targeted area. The off-center arrangement can cause variations in droplet size and coverage, leading to potential overlaps or gaps in the treatment. Therefore, while boomless sprayers offer advantages in certain situations, their design inherently makes achieving uniformity more challenging compared to traditional boom sprayers.
