Spray Drift Management

Droplet size:

The optimum drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. This reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift when applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions.

Number of nozzles:

Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage.

Volume:

Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets.

Nozzle type:

Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low drift nozzles.

Pressure:

Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer’s recommended pressures. For many nozzle types lower pressure produces larger droplets. When higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure.

Application height:

Making applications at the lowest height that is safe and reduces exposure of spray droplets to evaporation, wind movement, and crop vegetation contact.
