Air blast spray drift study begins

New drift assessment survey aims to improve models that predict pesticide
drift risk and potentially preclude unnecessarily restrictive labels. Green tracer dye blows into a dormant apple orchard near Benton City, Washington, while drift monitoring devices in the adjacent field gather data that will be used to validate a new model to better assess the drift risk from air blast sprayers in modern orchards.
