A liquid application method where a liquid is forced through a nozzle under pressure to form droplets is called what?

• A. Spray
• B. Swath
• C. Nozzle
• D. Orifice

Answer: (A)

Spray is the liquid application method in which the liquid is forced through a nozzle under pressure to form droplets. The nozzle and the pressure determine the droplet size and the spray pattern, allowing the liquid to spread over the turf surface for even coverage. This method is widely used for applying pesticides, fertilizers, and other treatments because it can cover large areas efficiently and can be adjusted for different droplet sizes to balance coverage with drift risk. The other terms refer to parts of the system or to the area covered: swath describes how wide the sprayed area is in one pass, a nozzle is the device that delivers the liquid, and an orifice is the opening inside the nozzle that helps set droplet size. Therefore, the described method is spray.
