Aerial Applicators Spray Nozzle Handbook

Some pesticide product labels specify application with a certain droplet spectra classification (SC), & labels for many new & re-registered products are expected to require application within a specified range of the spray droplet spectrum. Pesticide applicators should know how to achieve the specified droplet SC with their application. This handbook presents atomization models for 11 of the most commonly used spray nozzles on fixed-wing aircraft, & 11 on rotary-wing aircraft, as determined from aerial applicator surveys. These models provide a tool that aerial applicators can use to mitigate spray drift & ensure compliance with crop protection product label requirements when applying sprays with a specific droplet SC.
