In 2022 field trial was conducted on the laboratory field of BF, in which we used 4 different Avi Twin nozzles with double symmetric jet (01, 02, 03 in 04) in winter wheat. Spraying pressure of 3.0 bar and speed of 6.0 km/h were constant. In the trial we compared deposit quality and deposit quantity on the front and the back side of wheat head, on the flag leaf (1st leaf) and lower lying leaf (2nd leaf). For the determination of deposit quality water sensitive papers were used, while for the deposit quantity dye Helios 500 SC (tracer). Deposit impressions were measured with camera and program Wise Node, while tracer quantity was analyzed with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). We established that with the 03 and 04 nozzles higher coverage and higher tracer quantity were achieved on the wheat heads and leaves than with the 01 and 02 nozzles. With this, we confirmed both hypotheses. By all used nozzles lower coverage was on the back side of wheat head.
