Spanish term

boquilla antideriva

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Agriculture phytosanitary
"Boquillas antideriva: colocar boquillas antideriva en los atomizadores minimiza la pérdida de producto hacia la atmósfera y dirige la pulverización hacia la vegetación, donde realmente es necesaria para un buen control y reducción de la contaminación."

Anti-drift nozzles: placing anti-drift nozzles on the low-volume sprayer minimises product loss into the atmosphere and directs spray at the vegetation where it is truly needed, achieving good control and reducing contamination.

This is the solution I have developed, but I am not confident at all, Could someone please confirm that I am working in the right direction, or otherwise, re-direct me?

The text is from a pharmaceutical/phytosanitary company. EN UK.

Anti-injector nozzles? I also question contamination because it is so close, but pollution does not seem like the right concept.
