Technical Abstract:
The use of air-blast orchard sprayers is discussed. Air jet characteristics are important in transporting spray droplets into canopies. Travel speed, canopy density, spray droplet size, and other factors affect spray deposition on foliage. Drift from spraying orchards, vineyards, and nurseries is an important problem, and the results of several studies are presented. Care in sprayer operation and other methods can be used to reduce exposure of sensitive areas to spray drift.
