Verification of the possibilities of a droplet spectrum regulation due to the change of working pressure, as well as the change of the size of the discharge orifice of a nozzle, was undertaken in laboratory conditions by measurement of the size of a droplet spectrum of the applied liquid. Selected types of low drift nozzles -Albuz AVI 025, Lechler ID 120, Lechler IDK 120-05, Lechler IDN 120-025, TurboDrop 03, Hardi INJET 02, Hardi B JET 02, Hardi LD 02 and a flat fan nozzle Hardi ISO F 02-110 -underwent the measurement. The measurement of droplet spectrum was carried out at the nozzle's working height of 500 mm, and at working pressures of 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5 and 0.7 MPa. A laser measure equipment was used to measure the droplet spectrum of liquid.Keywords: low-drift nozzle; droplet spectrum; working pressure 126 RES. AGR. ENG., 51, 2005 (4): 125-133 so-called "weighted average", from the statistic point of view) and VMD -(Volume Median Diameter). More often practically used is especially VMD average, which is a critical indicator of the biological efficiency of a treatment. Because VMD makes provision for the dimension of droplets, it characterizes more precisely the quality and suitability of a droplet spectrum for each applied liquid.To sum up, we can say that VMD correlates positively with the size of a nozzle, while it correlates negatively with the discharge angle (ARVIDSSON 1997). KOVAŘÍČEK (1997) agrees with this predication and suggests three general principles of the relation between the size of droplets and nozzles: 1. Nozzles with a wider angle of dispersion form smaller droplets. 2. Nozzles with a greater flowage form larger droplets. 3. The higher the pressure is, the smaller the droplets are.Most common type of nozzles used for application with a surface sprayer is a flat fan nozzle. It works at the pressure from 0.1 to 0.5 MPa. Liquid is brought directly to the flat fan discharge orifice, which is shaped to create a flat discharge pattern. The size of the discharge angle affects not only the shape of the orifice but also the pressure of the liquid. It varies from 65° to 120°. An advantage of this type of nozzles is their simplicity and their ability of creating rather even dispersion of liquid at a relatively low pressure (LEFEBVRE 1993).At the hydraulic nozzles the diagram of droplets changes at inverse proportionality with the changes of working pressure of applied liquid, as at RYBKA (2001). The proof of this relation, especially at low drift hydraulic nozzles, is a part of this thesis.The main value determining the size of a droplet spectrum is the fractile D 0.5 that is named the median of the distribution function. It is indicated as VMD (Volume Median Diameter). It is a volume median diameter of droplets in the spectrum, to which it applies that the volume of all the droplets with a smaller diameter is equal to the volume of the droplets with a larger diameter. Other considerable parameters are border volume diameters D 0.1 and D 0.9. These show that 10% of the entire volume of dr...
