Which of the following is NOT a type of nozzle pattern used in pesticide application?

The correct answer identifies “Drip” as not being a specific type of nozzle pattern used in pesticide application. When applying pesticides, various nozzle patterns play crucial roles in determining how the pesticide is dispensed and its effectiveness.

Fan nozzles create a wide, flat spray pattern that is useful for covering large areas and is commonly used for applications on crops and soil. Solid stream nozzles, on the other hand, produce a focused, concentrated stream of liquid that can be effective for targeted applications but may not cover wide areas. Cone nozzles generate a conical spray pattern that can provide thicker coverage and is often used for foliage applications.

In contrast, “drip” does not refer to a nozzle pattern but rather describes a method of applying pesticides. Drip irrigation systems typically deliver water and nutrients directly to the plant roots through a network of tubing and emitters, which can sometimes be used for pesticide application, but it is not classified as a nozzle pattern like the others.

Thus, "Drip" stands apart from fan, solid stream, and cone patterns as it represents a delivery method rather than a specific nozzle type used in pesticide spraying.
