Wind speed and pesticide applications
Abstract
"The use of pesticides in the production of farm crops has increased rapidly in Missouri over the past decade. Problems arise when these materials are blown by the wind into nearby fields, pastures, towns or farmsteads. The effect of the wind on the drift is not the same for all pesticides; nor does wind blow the materials from different spray rigs the same distance. This is because spray rigs create different drop sizes during application."--First page.
