What is a drift-reducing practice?

• A. Using drift-reducing nozzles
• B. Increasing spray pressure
• C. Applying at higher boom height
• D. Using larger droplets

Answer: (A)

Drift reduction centers on keeping spray on the target and away from off-target areas. Using drift-reducing nozzles directly targets this goal by shaping the droplet size and spray pattern so more of the product deposits where you want it and less drifts away. The nozzles are designed to perform well under typical turf spraying conditions, making drift control more reliable than other quick fixes. Larger droplets can help reduce drift, but drift-reducing nozzles provide a specific, proven approach to achieve that effect across a range of conditions. Increasing spray pressure tends to create finer droplets that are more easily carried by wind, and applying at a higher boom height gives droplets more time and distance to drift, both of which increase drift rather than reduce it.
