Protect Against
Pesticide Drift
Pesticide drift movement
of a pesticide to areas other
than the intended area of appli
cation can cause untold dam
age. says Frank Boys, agricul
tural chemicals specialist at the
University of Delaware.
There arc two kinds of pesti
cide drift, he explains. Spray or
dust particle drift occurs at the
time of application when small
droplets or dust particles arc
carried by air movement. Vapor
drift is caused by pesticide
fumes from the application site
as the pesticide evaporates.
These fumes arc also carried
by air movement.
Pesticide drift can harm sen
sitive crops, ornamentals, gar
dens, livestock, wildlife or peo
ple, warns Boys. Ponds and
streams may become contamin
ated. Drift may also result in
crop residues exceeding the es
tablished legal tolerance level.
To help control pesticide
drift, Boys advises using low
volatility formulations and us
ing low pressure, large nozzles
and high volume when spray
ing
Release spray near the crop
or soil and avoid spraying at
high temperatures, he adds
Spray when the wind is low and
blowing away from sensitive
crops and other areas that
shouldn’t be contaminated
