Abstract

ABSTRACT RESULTS from laboratory and field tests indicated that downwind spray deposits could be either reduced or increased when comparing shielded versus unshielded spray boom depending upon the operating conditions and the prevailing wind velocity. The relative effectiveness of the shielded boom as indicated by spray deposits taken from 4- to 32-m downwind range from 65 to 81 percent for high- and low-wind speed-ground speed combinations, respectively. The importance of boom height and horizontal wind velocity on downwind spray deposits produced by an un-shielded boom was also demonstrated. The latter results confirm previous data reported by the authors and others.
