The influence of the droplet size on efficiency and drift is considered as well as the suitability of ULV equipment. It is recommended that where ULV work is contemplated, trials be initially carried out to determine the optimum within various parameters. Measures aiming at minimizing drift during application are stressed, referring mainly to methods of using boom and nozzle equipment, the nozzle position relative to airflow, nozzle spacing, and flight height.
