Bulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca: AgricultureThe main purpose of this paper is to analyze the methods and techniques used for analysis of spray drift and droplet size distribution by agricultural spraying machines. According to related standards and accepted definitions spray drift is the volume of

Proceedings of the New Zealand Plant Protection Conference, 1997 Research from 1989 to 1996 into drift from air blast orchard spraying, principally in kiwifruit blocks with live shelter, is reviewed. A mass balance study showed 96% of applied vinclozolin could be accounted for with 75% on the target crop, 19% on the ground or shelter and about 2% leaving the block as drift.

Polymeric Drift Control Adjuvants for Agricultural Spraying [PDF]
Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics, 2016 The movement of a pesticide or herbicide to an off‐target site during agricultural spraying can cause injury to wildlife, plants and contamination of surface water. This phenomenon is known as spray drift and can be controlled by spraying during favorable environmental conditions, and by using low drift nozzles and drift control adjuvants (DCAs ...

Fluid Dynamic Approaches for Prediction of Spray Drift from Ground Pesticide Applications: A Review
Agronomy, 2021 Spray drifts have been studied by mathematical models and computer simulations as an essential complement to lab and field tests, among which are fluid dynamic approaches that help to understand the transport of spray droplets in a turbulent atmosphere ...

Influence of speed and angle of spraying on area coverage and drift in the potato production [PDF]
Journal of Central European AgricultureThis study investigated the influence of travel speed (6 and 10 km/h) and spray angle (-30°, 0° and +30°) on leaf surface coverage (LSC), on the area not treated (drift) and on droplet size. The leaf surface coverage, size and number of droplets, as well

Predicting Spray Drift from Backpack and UTV Spraying
Transactions of the ASABE, 2018 Abstract. This article summarizes the development and predictions of a Lagrangian-based computer model applied to recent field data on backpack and utility vehicle spraying. Model agreement with data supports the usefulness of the model for the tested conditions, and provides the USDA Forest Service and other agencies with a simple-to-use numerical ...
