Abstract

ABSTRACT STUDIES were carried out to determine the effects of several factors in achieving maximum aerial spray coverage on soybeans. Test plots were aerially sprayed with benomyl and a fluorescent pigment. The measured fluorescent emission from sprayed leaf samples identified spray application rate and spray nozzle orientation as having the greatest influence upon spray coverage of leaf surfaces. Orientation of the nozzles toward the rear of the aircraft produced spray having a larger volume median diameter and fewer small drift prone droplets than did orienting the nozzle straight down.
