The width of the sprayed path in one pass is referred to as what?

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

Answer: (A)

Swath is the width of the sprayed path in a single pass. It describes how wide the spray coverage is as the applicator moves along the turf. This width is shaped by the nozzle spray pattern, the spacing of the nozzles on the boom, and how high the boom sits above the ground. The other terms refer to different things: spray is the liquid being applied, nozzle is the device that emits the liquid, and psi is the pressure driving the liquid through the nozzle (which affects droplet size and spray characteristics but not the overall width of coverage). In practice, knowing the swath helps you plan passes so you achieve even coverage with appropriate overlap and minimize gaps or excessive overlap.
