What is the result of a bypass system becoming restricted in a sprayer?

When a bypass system in a sprayer becomes restricted, the most likely result is reduced spray pressure. A bypass system is designed to allow excess liquid to circulate back to the tank rather than through the spray nozzle. This mechanism helps maintain consistent pressure in the system. If the bypass line experiences restrictions, it can disrupt this balance, leading to a decrease in spray pressure.

Lower spray pressure can significantly impact the efficacy of the application, as it may not provide adequate coverage or penetration of the target area, potentially leading to uneven application and reduced effectiveness of the pesticide or nutrient being applied. Understanding the dynamics of pressure within sprayer systems is essential for effective pest and crop management practices.
