potential for spray drift. The applicator and the entity authorizing spaying are
<br />responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions.
<br />Spray drift from applying this product may result in damage to sensitive plants
<br />adjacent to the treatment area. Only apply this product when the potential for
<br />dnft to these and other adjacent sensmve areas (e.g. residential areas, bodies of
<br />water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, or non-target crops)
<br />is minimal. Do not apply when the following conditions exist that increase
<br />the likelihood of spay drift from intended targets: high or gusty winds, high
<br />tempeamres, low humidity, tempemmre inversions.
<br />To minimize spay drift, the applicator should be familiar with and take into
<br />account the following drift reduction advisory information. Additional information
<br />may be available from stain enforcement agencies or the Coopea[ivc Extension
<br />on the applicarion of this produce
<br />The best drift managementsta[egyond most effective way m reduce drift potential
<br />are to apply large droplets that provide sufficient coverage end control. Applying
<br />larger droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if appircations
<br />are made improperly, or under untavoable environmental conditions (see WIND,
<br />TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY, and TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS).
<br />CONTROLLING DROPLET 512E
<br />• Volume-Usehigh flow ate noules to apply the-highestpaCUral spay volume.
<br />Nozzles with higher aced flours produce larger droplets.
<br />• Pressure-Do not exceed the noule manufacturer's recommended pressures.
<br />For many mule types, lower pressure produces larger droplets, When higher
<br />flow ores ere needed, use higher flow ate noules instead of mcreasingpressure.
<br />• Number ofNozzlcs-Use the minimum number of nozzles [hat provide uniform
<br />coveage.
<br />• Nozzle Orientation--0rienting noules so that the spay is released parallel to
<br />the airstream produces larger droplets than otherorientations and is recom-
<br />mended pactice. Significant deflection from the horizontal will reduce droplet
<br />size and increase drift potential.
<br />• Nozzle Type-Use a nozzle type that is designed for the imended application.
<br />With most nozzle types, narrower spay angles produce larger droplets. Consider
<br />using low-drift nozzles. Solid sveam noules oriented staight back produce
<br />the largest droplets and-the lowest drift. Do not use noules producing a mss[
<br />droplet spray.
<br />APPLICATION FIEIGHT
<br />Making applications at the lowest possible height (helicopter, grbund driven spay
<br />boom} that is safe and pactiwl reduces exposure of droplets to evapoa[ion and
<br />wind.
<br />SWgTH ADJUSTMENT ~ -
<br />Whrn applications are made with a crosswind, the swath wiU be displaced down-
<br />wind. 7hcrcfott, on the up and downwind edges of the treatment area, the
<br />applicator must compensate for this displacemrnt by adjusting the path of the
<br />application equipment (e.g. aircafi, ground) upwind. Swath adjustment distance
<br />should increase with increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller droplets, etc.). i
<br />WIND
<br />Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 3.10 mph. However, many i
<br />factors, including droplet size and equipment type, determine drift potential at any
<br />given speed. Application should he avoided below 3' mph due to variable wind
<br />direction and high inversion potential. NOTE: Local tenain can influence wind
<br />patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and how
<br />they affect spray drift.
<br />TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
<br />Rrhen making applications in low relative humidity, sU up equipment to produce
<br />larger droplets to compensate for evapoation. Droplet evapoation is most severe
<br />when conditions att both hot and dry.
<br />TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
<br />Drift patenrial is high during a tempeature inversion. Tempeamre inversions
<br />restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain
<br />in a concentated cloud, which can move in unpredicmbl¢.directions due to
<br />the light variable winds common during inversions. Tempeamtt inversions are
<br />chaacterized by increasing temperatures with altitude and are common on nights
<br />with limited cloud cover and Ught to no wind. They begin to form as the sun
<br />sets and often continue into the morning. Their presence can be indicated by
<br />ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified by
<br />the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircrefl smoke geneator.
<br />Smoke that layers and moves lateally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind
<br />conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and apidly
<br />dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing.
<br />WIND EROSION
<br />Avoid treating powdery dry or light sandy soils when conditions are favorable for
<br />wind erosion. Under these conditions, the soil surface should first be settled by
<br />ainfall or irrigation.
<br />SENSITIVE AREAS
<br />The pesticide should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent
<br />sensitive areas (e.g, residential areas, bodies ofwater, known habitat for threatened
<br />or endangered species, ornon-target crops) is minimal (e.g. when wind is blowing
<br />away from the sensitive areas).
