  • Method to reduce spray drift during application of pesticides and crop protection agents
    Publication number: 20070298970
    Abstract: Spray drift during the application of agricultural chemicals is reduced by incorporating a monosaccharide or a mixture of monosaccharides into the liquid to be sprayed and by spraying the resulting liquid through a flat fan or straight stream nozzle without a deflector. Average spray droplet sizes are increased and the percentage of driftable spray droplets (<150 microns) produced are reduced.
