To minimize spray drift, the applicator should be familiar with and take into account the fol-lowing drift reduction advisory information. Additional information may be available from state enforcement agencies or the Cooperative Extension on the application of this product.
Bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum)Barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli) The best drift management strategy and most effective way to reduce drift potential are to Beardgrass (Andropogon spp.) apply large droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if applications are made improperly, or under Big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii) unfavorable environmental conditions (see WIND, TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY, AND
Broadleaf signalgrass (Brachiaria platyphylla) TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS, below).
Canada bluegrass (Poa compressa)Cattail (Typha spp.) Controlling Droplet Size:
• Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles
with higher rated flows produce larger droplets.
Crabgrass (Digitaria spp.)Crowfootgrass (Dactyloctenium aegyptium) • Pressure – DO NOT exceed the nozzle manufacturer’s recommended pressures. For
many nozzle types, lower pressure produces larger droplets. When higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure.
Fall panicum (Panicum dichotomiflorum)Feathertop (Pennisetum villosum) • Number of Nozzles – Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage.
Fescue (Festuca spp.)Foxtail (Setaria spp.) • Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray is released parallel to the
airstream produces larger droplets than other orientations and is recommended practice.
Significant deflection from the horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase drift poten- Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum)Itchgrass (Rottboellia exaltata) • Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most
nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low-drift noz- zles. Solid stream nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest droplets and the Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis) lowest drift. DO NOT use nozzles producing a mist droplet spray.
Lovegrass (Eragrostis spp.)Orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata) Application Height: Making applications at the lowest possible height (aircraft, ground dri-
ven spray boom) that is safe and practical reduces exposure of droplets to evaporation and Phragmites (Phragmites australis)Prairie cordgrass (Spartina pectinata) Swath Adjustment: When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be dis-
Prairie threeawn (Aristida oligantha) placed downwind. Therefore, on the up and downwind edges of the field, the applicator must compensate for this displacement by adjusting the path of the application equipment (e.g.
Reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea) aircraft, ground) upwind. Swath adjustment distance should increase with increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller droplets, etc.).
Sand dropseed (Sporobolus cryptandrus)Sandbur (Cenchrus spp.) Wind: Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 3-10 mph. However, many factors,
including droplet size and equipment type, determine drift potential at any given speed.
Sprangletop (Leptochloa spp.) Application should be avoided below 3 mph due to variable wind direction and high inversion potential. NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be famil-
iar with local wind patterns and how they affect spray drift.
Vaseygrass (Paspalum urvillei)Wild barley (Hordeum spp.) Temperature and Humidity: When making applications in low relative humidity, set up
equipment to produce larger droplets to compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is Wirestem muhly (Muhlenbergia frondosa) most severe when conditions are both hot and dry.
Witchgrass (Panicum capillare)Woolly cupgrass (Eriochloa villosa) Temperature Inversions: Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature
inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain in aconcentrated cloud, which can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable BROADLEAF WEEDS
