Measurement of Spray Drift with a Specifically Designed Lidar System [PDF]
Sensors, 2016 Field measurements of spray drift are usually carried out by passive collectors and tracers. However, these methods are labour- and time-intensive and only provide point- and time-integrated measurements.

Assessment of Spray Drift with Various Adjuvants in a Wind Tunnel
Agronomy, 2022 When pesticides are sprayed, a significant portion of the droplets drifts away from the target. Using an adjuvant in spray liquid is an easy option for reducing droplet drift because there is no need to make any changes to the sprayer.
