Abstract

The increased use of crop protection products in Uruguay has raised concerns about environmental contamination. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of application technologies and conditions on drift generation. Five experiments were conducted using a randomized design with three replicates, testing fine, medium, and very coarse droplets. Drift was estimated at distances up to 100 m using an adapted ISO 22866 methodology. Results indicated that fine droplets produced 22% more drift, particularly at closer distances. High boom height and wind speed increased drift. No interactions between factors were observed, emphasizing the importance of careful application practices.
