No Chemical Spray Drift Here

Chemical spray drift is a growing concern for farmers and surrounding communities. Extension agents from North Dakota State University and University of Minnesota have researched new ways to prevent chemical spray drift in the field.

A nozzle that can increase the size of the droplet can make the droplet fall faster. Venturi nozzles were recently introduced to farmers as a way to make sure their chemical spray is falling exactly where they want it to.

Spray drift happens when:

• vapor drift
• Particle or droplet drift

By inserting more air into the droplets can decrease drifting onto crops the farmer does not want to touch. Surrounding communities can also have an eased mind with knowing that the droplets will not be getting into their air.

The cost of new nozzles is relatively low cost bearing. Especially when considering the money saved when your spray is actually sprayed where it is supposed to go.

For information on where to get these newly designed nozzles, check out the link under the picture. Experts will help you find the right nozzles for your operation.
