A simple probabilistic estimation of spray drift—factors determining spray drift and development of a model

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2008
Abstract Spray drift represents a major mode of exposure in off-crop habitats or surface waters after pesticide spray application. Currently, the estimation of exposure by spray drift is based on a deterministic estimation of the amount of drifting residues, either with the use of default drift values or deterministic models, which ...

Spray drift review: The extent to which a formulation can contribute to spray drift reduction

Crop Protection, 2013
Abstract Mitigation of risk arising from spray drift in Europe is achieved mostly by implementation of no-spray buffer zones and the use of approved drift-reducing techniques. Although physicochemical properties of spray solutions are known to influence spray drift, they are not yet incorporated into regulatory risk assessments at the European level.

Agrochemical spray drift; assessment and mitigation—A review*

Journal of Environmental Science and Health - Part B Pesticides, Food Contaminants, and Agricultural Wastes, 2010
During application of agrochemicals spray droplets can drift beyond the intended target to non-target receptors, including water, plants and animals. Factors affecting this spray drift include mode of application, droplet size, which can be modified by the nozzle types, formulation adjuvants, wind direction, wind speed, air stability, relative humidity,

Drift of 10 herbicides after tractor spray application. 2. Primary drift (droplet drift)

Chemosphere, 2006
In the present study the primary drift of 10 herbicides was investigated in five field experiments, and the amount deposited per surface area was quantified outside the application area using simple passive dosimeters. In addition, samples for measuring a possible background value were taken upwind of the sprayed field.

Spray drift as influenced by meteorological and technical factors

Pest Management Science, 2011
AbstractBACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to investigate spray drift from a conventional field sprayer as influenced by meteorological and technical factors, and to provide spray operators with data on which to base sound judgements when applying pesticides.

Shields to reduce spray drift

, 1996
The effect of nine spray-boom shield designs on spray drift is presented. Standard flat-fan nozzles and "low-drift" nozzles were used. Results are based on experiments conducted in a wind tunnel, and computer simulations. Performance of all experimental shields was evaluated under two spray pressures and two air flow rates. All nine shields effectively

Shields to Reduce Spray Drift

Journal of Agricultural Engineering Research, 1997
Abstract The effects of several spray-boom shield designs and ‘‘low-drift ’’ nozzles on spray drift are presented. Results are based on experiments conducted in a wind tunnel. Performances of all experimental shields were evaluated under two spray pressures (0·15 and 0·3 MPa), and two air velocities (2·75 and 4·80 m/s) in the wind tunnel.

A meta analysis of spray drift sampling

Crop Protection, 2011
There are many methods available for sampling spray drift, and a great variety of estimates of spray drift have been published. Available data on spray drift were collected from different studies and the measurements of spray drift were analysed to ...

Spray Drift Generated in Vineyard during Under-Row Weed Control and Suckering: Evaluation of Direct and Indirect Drift-Reducing Techniques

Sustainability, 2020
The most widespread method for weed control and suckering in vineyards is under-row band herbicide application. It could be performed for weed control only (WC) or weed control and suckering (WSC) simultaneously. During herbicide application, spray drift
