Students begin Avoid pesticide drift NEWARK, Del - Pesticide drift, the movement of pesticides away from the target area, is a serious problem for all who apply pesticides. There are several things applicators can do to reduce the movement of pesticides off target. Use low pressures in the sprayer and equip it with larger nozzles. These two adjustments will result in larger droplets. Small droplets blow off'target very readily Several chemical manufacturers sell drift control agents These liquids can be added to the spray mixture to prevent drift Finally, observe wind direction when spraying in order to prevent draft from moving downwind to backyards and other sen sitive areas.
