Get XC – Get Even

The new range of Syngenta Turf XC Nozzles, launched at BTME, offers a breakthrough for even application on turf surfaces. XC Nozzles have been specifically designed and engineered to resolve difficult issues with spraying golf courses and amenity turf – delivering eXtra Coverage of turf surfaces and improving results of all applications. XC Nozzles are will be available in 025, 04 and 08 sizes, to cover most applications in golf course and sports turf situations.

XC Technology delivers:
- Even spray coverage on undulating ground
- Reduced spray drift
- Enhanced all-round leaf coverage
- Lower water volume operation

The exclusive new XC Technology design, incorporating an elliptical shaped orifice and wide droplet pattern, ensures effective coverage if the nozzle spraying height is reduced when spraying over undulating ground. Trials have shown coverage remains consistent when spraying height is reduced to as low as 30cm.

All of the XC Nozzle range utilise the acclaimed drift reducing air induction technology that has proven extremely effective in the existing Syngenta Turf Foliar Nozzle. Testing has shown the XC Nozzles produce just 3% of drift susceptible droplets, compared to up to 14% with conventional nozzles. Minimising drift results in less risk of environmental loss, reduced operator exposure and helps to avoid criticism of spray application from players and public.

Furthermore, XC Nozzles feature a backward facing spray pattern, which has been designed to compensate for the forward movement of the sprayer and assure enhance all round coverage of the leaf, with the potential to deliver better product performance. XC Technology can also enable water volumes to be reduced – increasing sprayer work rates and offering the potential to enhance product efficacy through better spray retention.

The XC Nozzles will be available from Everris, Syngenta product distributors or direct from the Syngenta GreeenCast website: www.greencast.co.uk
