Hi Dave -

Generally, you want to work on a mesh size of about 400 micrometers opening
sizes, since fungal tend to grow in clumps. You want the larger opening size
and therefore nozzle sizes as well.

Drip tape with opening sizes of 5 micrometers will not be good places for tea
to be used.

But just about any other type of sprayer has nozzles larger opening size than
those. Aim for nozzles that have 400 micrometer opening size, or larger.
