You should choose nozzles that provide good ______ for intended use and ______.

• A. Coverage, minimize drift
• B. Coverage, maximize drift
• C. Drift, coverage
• D. Filtration, flow

Answer: (A)

The idea is to pick nozzles that deliver good coverage on the target while keeping drift to a minimum. You want the spray to contact the pest or crop evenly for effective control, but you also want to limit what drifts off-target to protect non-target surfaces, people, and the environment. Nozzle choice affects both: appropriate droplet size and spray quality help achieve solid coverage, while using drift-reducing settings and equipment helps prevent off-target movement. Options that push for maximum drift would undermine safety and effectiveness, and factors like filtration or flow aren’t the primary focus of this balance between coverage and drift.
