Globus -
Herbicide sprayhoods
The right spraying technique plays a major role in weed control. Globus develops and supplies spray hoods for both conventional spraying and Low Volume Spreading (LvS). Depending on the crop, the field conditions and the required precision, you can choose between open, closed or flexible versions in various sizes.
The spray hoods are available in stainless steel, in sizes from 20 to 120 cm wide, and can be combined with different nozzles and spray systems. They can be used on virtually all Globus spray frames, row sprayers and hoeing machines.

Conventional spraying
Conventional spraying with spray hoods
The conventional spray hoods from Globus are made of funnel-shaped stainless steel that moves along on contact with the crop, to minimize resistance. They are available in an open, closed or flexible version, depending on the required drift reduction and field conditions.
Features
- Application volume: 400-1000 L/ha
- Droplet size: variable from fine (<100 µm) to coarse (~500 µm)
- Pressure: higher working pressure for optimal atomization
- Application: classic weed control on larger areas
Advantages
- Fast treatment of large areas
- Strong penetration into dense vegetation
- Widely applicable for a variety of weed species
Disadvantages
- Greater risk of drift with fine droplets
- Higher liquid consumption and more frequent refilling
- More weight on the soil, risk of structural damage
- Longer filling time and higher logistical burden
Low Volume Spreading (LvS)
Low Volume Spreading (LvS) with protective hood
Low Volume Spreading (LvS) works with low pressure and uniform droplets for targeted, low-drift application. The system uses less liquid (10-50 L/ha), which makes it more efficient and more environmentally friendly. With or without a stainless steel Flex protective hood, you can work very precisely between rows and under crops.
The stainless steel Flex hoods often act as “branch lifters” in low crops or young trees. In combination with the NK80LT spreading head, you can also work without a hood, so you can spread very precisely low under plants or trees, without overlap or missed areas.
Available versions
- Open spray hood: maximum air circulation, suitable for level terrain
- Closed spray hood: low drift and precise, ideal for sensitive crops
- Flexible spray hood: resilient on crop contact, prevents damage
- Stainless steel version in widths of 20-120 cm
- Suitable for conventional (HD) and LvS systems
- Optionally with extraction or NK80LT spreading head
Features
- Application volume: 10-50 L/ha
- Droplet size: uniform and stable (250-300 µm)
- Pressure: low working pressure for maximum control
- Application: precision weed control between rows and beds
Advantages
- Very targeted application with minimal drift
- Lower product use and less environmental impact
- Less frequent refilling, so higher capacity
- Little risk of clogging thanks to large passages
- Compatible with stainless steel Flex hoods in 5 widths (20-120 cm)
- Interchangeable system: work with or without a hood thanks to the NK80LT spreading head
Disadvantages
- Less suitable for tall or dense weeds
- Limited coverage in heavy vegetation without the right nozzle setup
