. This article summarizes the development and predictions of a Lagrangian-based computer model applied to recent field data on backpack and utility vehicle spraying. Model agreement with data supports the usefulness of the model for the tested conditions, and provides the USDA Forest Service and other agencies with a simple-to-use numerical tool to estimate spray drift from similar single-nozzle applications.
