The Pad Corp PCWH-2 Weedicide Nozzle Cap is a transparent double-spray hood used with knapsack and battery sprayer lances for targeted weed control in standing crops. The weedicide nozzle cap is made from 100% pure virgin plastic and fits over the spray cone like a dome, blocking the herbicide spray from drifting onto nearby crops, leaves, and field workers. The PCWH-2 weedicide hood holds two weedicide nozzle tips inside one cover, giving a wider, even spray with much less chemical loss to the wind.
Key Features and Benefits:
Twin-Nozzle Design: The PCWH-2 model has two nozzles inside one transparent cover, doubling spray width and reducing manual labor.
100% Pure Virgin Plastic: The weedicide nozzle cap is built from pure virgin plastic that resists herbicide chemicals, water, and rust over many spray seasons.
Drift-Free Spraying: The dome-shaped weedicide hood blocks side wind from carrying weedicide mist onto nearby crops, vegetables, or fruit trees.
See-Through Hood Body: The transparent build of the PCWH-2 weedicide hood allows the farmer to watch spray flow and check for nozzle blockage during use.
Lightweight and Compact: The weedicide nozzle cap stays light on the lance and adds no extra strain on the wrist during long spray sessions.
Eco-Friendly Build: The virgin plastic body of the weedicide hood causes no extra harm to soil or plant roots if dropped or rinsed off in the field.

How to Use:
Take the Pad Corp PCWH-2 weedicide nozzle cap out of the pack and rinse it under clean water to remove any factory dust.
Remove the regular nozzle from the sprayer lance by unscrewing the existing cap or cover.
Push the weedicide hood onto the lance end. Tighten gently by hand till the hood sits flush against the lance — no spanner needed.
Fill the sprayer tank with the weedicide solution as per the label dose. Avoid mixing insecticide or fungicide with weedicide in the same tank.
Lower the weedicide nozzle cap close to the weed canopy, about 15-20 cm above the soil, and start the spray. The dome traps drift and pushes spray downward only.
Walk at an even pace between standing crop rows. Hold the lance straight so the PCWH-2 weedicide hood faces the weeds and not the crop leaves.
Stop spraying at row turns to avoid double-dosing. Lift the cap clear of the soil when walking past delicate crops.
After spraying, flush the lance and tool with clean water and mild soap to remove herbicide traces. Let it dry in the shade before storage.
Safety Instructions:
Check the weedicide nozzle cap for cracks, loose joints, or worn threads before every spray session. A damaged hood lets chemical mist leak sideways onto crops.
Hand-tighten the weedicide hood only. Over-tightening with a spanner can crack the plastic body and ruin the seal.
Do not place the weedicide nozzle cap on hot surfaces like tractor engines, exhaust pipes, or open fire. High heat warps and softens the virgin plastic.
Keep the weedicide hood away from sharp tools, stones, and metal edges during transport. Even small scratches on the dome reduce drift control.
Rinse the weedicide nozzle cap with clean water right after each use. Dried herbicide residue inside the hood can block the nozzles next time.
Store the weedicide hood in a cool, dry, shaded place. Long sun exposure makes the transparent plastic brittle and cloudy over time.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
Q1. What is a weedicide hood used for?
A weedicide hood is a dome-shaped cover fitted over a sprayer nozzle to spray herbicide on weeds without the chemical drifting onto nearby crops. The Pad Corp PCWH-2 weedicide nozzle cap is one such hood, made from clear virgin plastic, and built to spray weedicide in standing cotton, sugarcane, banana, vegetable, and orchard rows.
Q2. Which sprayers work with the PCWH-2 weedicide nozzle cap?
The Pad Corp PCWH-2 weedicide nozzle cap fits almost all Indian sprayer lances — knapsack hand sprayers, battery-operated sprayers, HTP machines, and engine-powered sprayers. The wide-fit threading accepts both inner and outer thread lances, so the hood works on most popular brands without any extra adapters.
Q3. How does the weedicide hood stop herbicide drift?
It works like a dome over the spray nozzle. It blocks side wind and pushes the weedicide spray downward toward the weeds only. This stops the herbicide mist from drifting onto crop leaves, neighbouring fields, and field workers, cutting wasted chemical and crop injury risk.
Q4. Can the weedicide nozzle cap be used with insecticide, too?
It is not recommended to use the same weedicide nozzle cap for insecticide or fungicide spray. Even trace amounts of weedicide left inside the hood can damage standing crops when spraying pesticides. Keep one set of the PCWH-2 spray hood only for herbicide work.
Q5. How should I clean and store the weedicide hood after use?
Flush the tool with clean water and mild soap right after each spray session to wash off chemical residue. Let it dry in the shade, not direct sun. Store the weedicide nozzle cap in a cool, dry place, away from food, feed, and children.
Q6. What is the difference between the PCWH-1 and PCWH-2 weedicide hood?
The PCWH-1 weedicide hood carries a single weedicide nozzle inside the dome, suited for narrow row crops and small kitchen gardens. The PCWH-2 weedicide hood has a double nozzle setup that covers a wider band in one pass, ideal for medium and large fields with wide row spacing.
