Noticing pesticide spray drift from agricultural pesticide application areas and breast cancer: a case‐control study

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health, 2013
Objectives: To examine the relationship between self‐reported noticing of pesticide spray drift from agricultural areas and breast cancer. Methods: A case‐control study of breast cancer was conducted in Western Australia from 2009 to 2011.

Carrier Volume and Nozzle Effect on 2,4-D and Glufosinate Performances in Hazelnut Sucker Control

HortScience, 2020
Hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) basal sprouts, or suckers, are removed to train trees as a single trunk, facilitating mechanization. Suckers are routinely controlled with herbicides, often by using nozzles that generate fine droplets and spray volumes as ...

Drift from orchard spraying

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.

Development and Field Evaluation of a Spray Drift Risk Assessment Tool for Vineyard Spraying Application

Agriculture, 2019
Spray drift is one of the most important causes of pollution from plant protection products and it puts the health of the environment, animals, and humans at risk. There is; thus, an urgent need to develop measures for its reduction.

Foliar-applied glyphosate substantially reduced uptake and transport of iron and manganese in sunflower (helianthus annuus L.) plants [PDF]

, 2006
Evidence clearly shows that cationic micronutrients in spray solutions reduce the herbicidal effectiveness of glyphosate for weed control due to the formation of metal-glyphosate complexes.

Long-term monitoring of pesticide residues on public sites: A regional approach to survey and reduce spray drift

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
Plant protection strongly increased food safety and agricultural productivity, but with societal and environmental costs as the downside. Especially the contamination of non-target areas via spray drift represents an adverse side-effect.

Risk assessment of environmental and bystander exposure from agricultural unmanned aerial vehicle sprayers in golden coconut plantations: Effects of droplet size and spray volume

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) sprayers are widely utilized in commercial aerial application of plant protection products (PPPs) in East Asian countries due to their high flexibility, high efficiency and low cost, but spray drift can lead to low ...

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 ...
