What is Drift?
Unknown Photo Source
The physical movement of pesticide through the air at the time of pesticide application or soon thereafter from the target site to any non- or off-target site.

What isn’t Drift?
• Pesticides moved by:
– Erosion
– Migration
– Volatility
– Windblown soil particles

Types of Drift
• Vapor Drift - associated with volatilization, gases, fumes
• Particle Drift - movement of spray particles

Why All the Interest in Drift?
• Spotty pest control
• Wasted chemicals
• Off-target damage
• Environmental impact
– Water and Air Quality
• Public more aware of pesticide concerns
• Spraying in more populated areas

Why All the Interest in Drift?
• Because drift can cause injury to:– Adjoining crops– Livestock– Wildlife– Humans
• Because drift costs money:– Restitution for damaged crops– Reduced control of intended target pest(s)– Increased regulations because of drift problems

Droplet Size• Large droplets have less potential to drift because
they:– Fall more quickly– Evaporate more slowly– Are less affected by wind
• Small droplets often result from:– High spray pressure– Small nozzle tips– Wind shear across the nozzles
