The effect of travel speed of a truck-mounted ultra-low–volume (ULV) sprayer on its application efficacy was studied at St. Johns County Fairground, Elkton, FL, during summer 2015. The efficacy was assessed by spray deposition, droplet size spectrum, and 24-h mortality of caged adult Aedes aegypti, using 2 rows of sampling locations, 15 m apart and spread up to 122 m from the spray. Each location had a bioassay cage and an impinger droplet sampler, 1 m apart from each other, at 1.5 m off the ground. Aqualuer® 20-20 (20.6% permethrin AI and 20% piperonyl butoxide) was applied at the maximum label rate, travelling at 8, 16, and 32 km/h. Three replications were completed on 3 days at least a week apart, with 1 replication of each travel speed per day. On each application day the travel speeds were rotated. Overall, a travel speed of 32 km/h achieved the highest efficacy of Aqualuer® 20-20, followed by 16 km/h, and then 8 km/h, in an open field. In general, droplet size, deposition, and mosquito mortality increased with increasing travel speed. The increased travel speed will also enhance the work rate of a sprayer and operator, thus reducing the cost of ULV applications.
