    Does anyone have any experience with a boomless sprayer? I need a new sprayer and am interested to see if anyone has comments about a boom sprayer vs a boomless sprayer.

    Thanks

    I've only used a boom sprayer. I have my nozzles producing a very fine mist at fairly high pressure to penetrate the foliage. It seems to me you would need much bigger droplets to get enough distance to make the boomless cover much area. And not sure they would get down under the first layer of leaves to the small weeds. Specially in soybeans. Just my thoughts without any boomless experiance, maybe I'm wrong tho.
