Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation A few rows back in a block of plants, the amount of spray drift captured falls off considerably.
- Observation In preliminary wind tunnel tests, rows of plants captured similar volumes of spray drift as single plants.
- Observation In preliminary wind tunnel tests, blocks of plants differed in the quantity of spray drift captured.
- Observation Spray drift capture differs depending on plant species.
- Observation The authors state that the results support the assumption that standard regulatory spray drift exposure estimates based on horizontal collection do not reflect spray drift capture by off-crop canopies.
