Increasing the number of nozzles will have what effect on dosage applied?

Increasing the number of nozzles typically results in a higher overall dosage applied. This is because each nozzle contributes to the total amount of pesticide being distributed onto the target area. More nozzles mean that the same amount of pesticide can be spread across a wider area, but if the total output remains constant, each individual nozzle will be discharging less product. However, the cumulative effect of having more nozzles usually leads to an increase in the total output, provided that equipment settings, pressure, and the flow rate of the pesticide are maintained.

In addition, the application mechanics such as pressure and nozzle design play a crucial role in determining the actual dosage being delivered. If the application equipment is calibrated appropriately to accommodate the additional nozzles, the result will be an increase in the total volume deposited over the same area when compared to using fewer nozzles.

Considering these factors, the correct choice reflects the impact of increasing the number of nozzles on the volume of pesticide applied in a given area.
