Off-target movement in the form of spray drift is a major concern because it diverts the chemical from the intended target, reduces efficacy, and deposits pesticide where it is not needed or wanted. When a pesticide drifts, it may cause both environmental and economic damage, including exposure to people and property, injury to susceptible vegetation, harm to wildlife, deposition of illegal residues on crops, and contamination of water supplies.</p> Wed, 27 May 2009 09:19:39 -0400 http://www.pubs.ext.vt.edu/442/442-031/442-031.html Agricultural Insects / Pests Equipment & Structures Pesticide Education Nozzles: Selection and Sizing http://www.pubs.ext.vt.edu/442/442-032/442-032.html <p>This fact sheet covers nozzle description, recommended use for common nozzle types, and orifice sizing for agricultural and turf sprayers. Proper selection of a nozzle type and size is essential for correct and accurate pesticide application. The nozzle is a major factor in determining the amount of spray applied to an area, uniformity of application, coverage obtained on the target surface, and amount of potential drift.</p> Tue, 26 May 2009 16:04:19 -0400 http://www.pubs.ext.vt.edu/442/442-032/442-032.html Agricultural Insects / Pests Equipment & Structures Pesticide Education Virginia Tech Pesticide Programs http://www.pubs.ext.vt.edu/links/vtpp-1.html Mon, 11 May 2009 08:19:43 -0400 http://www.pubs.ext.vt.edu/links/vtpp-1.html Agricultural Insects / Pests Environmental Quality Pesticide Education
