Abstract

Spray drifts from small sprayers were measured using isokinetic drift monitoring equipment. Fluorascant dye was used to quantify the amount of drift by using a fluorometer. The results showed that charging the spray droplets producing from small sprayers reduced the drift to a great extent in windy conditions.
