Which term designates the component that meters and disperses spray?

• A. Nozzle
• B. Orifice
• C. Nutlet
• D. Nymph

Answer: (A)

The nozzle is the component that meters and disperses spray. It sits at the end of the spray system and controls how much liquid exits (flow or metering) while also shaping and breaking the liquid into droplets to form the spray pattern. Different nozzle designs and orifice sizes determine droplet size and coverage, which is why nozzle choice matters for achieving even turf application. The other terms aren’t correct here: nutlet and nymph refer to insect life stages, and the orifice is the tiny hole inside a nozzle that helps set flow, but the device that both meters and disperses the spray is the nozzle itself.
