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 …

Spray drift is a practical consequence of agricultural spraying operations. Because of the
agronomical and environmental impacts of this phenomenon, drift has been widely studied …

In many instances, sprays are formed from the breakup of liquid jets or sheets. We
investigate the different parameters that determine the characteristic drop size in the …

During the spray process, many factors control the disintegration of the liquid sheet at the
exit of a nozzle operating in an ambient atmosphere. Understanding the role of these …

The fate of pesticide droplets on leaves is significantly influenced by the fine structures found
on leaf surfaces. Evaporation times and the maximum coverage areas of single droplets …

Highlights•Risk assessments of pesticide drift were carried out in soybean.•Pesticide drift
was determined for a soybean crop grown in tropical conditions.•Results may be useful to …

Background When spraying simple liquids through a hydraulic nozzle, the mechanisms that
affect breakup into droplets have recently been described. However, it is unknown how the …

46 Wind tunnel measurements were used to measure airborne and fallout spray volumes for
10 different spray nozzles. Drift potential reduction percentages (DPRPs), expressing the …

Pesticide application by unmanned agricultural aerial vehicles (UAVs) has rapidly
developed in China and other Asian counties. Currently, tank-mix spray adjuvants are …
