The aim of this work was to characterize the diameter and uniformity of droplets and volumetric distribution profile for no-drift and great angle nozzle (ADGA) 110015, at 207 and 310 kPa of pressure, to determine its spacing in the spray boom. The spray deposition was simulated from the distribution profiles. The droplet diameter spectrum was determined by laser diffraction. ADGA 110015 nozzle presented a symmetric volumetric distribution profile at 207 and 310 kPa. For this pressure, it is possible to operate with smaller height of the spray boom or with the nozzles more spaced to each other, because the largest angle of the spray resulted in a decrease of the variation coefficient. However, concerning to the drop diameter, a significant reduction was observed, increasing the potential of covering of the target and the susceptibility to drift and evaporation.
