The anti-drift nozzles are highly advanced and capable of controlling drift effects. Thanks to a graduated pre-orifice and a specifically designed turbulence chamber a reduction in pressure is created which leads to a reduction in the small droplets subject to drift, whilst at the same very large drops are not created, thereby having the double advantage of assuring good covering with total wash out. 3, record 2, English, - anti%2Ddrift%20nozzle
