An oil dispersion of guar gum has been developed that not only achieves even dispersion of guar into the spray tank but also...

...Curtis M. Elsik Drift Reduction Agent has been defined in ASTM Standard E1519 Terminology Relating to Agricultural Tank Mix Adjuvants as “a material used in liquid spray mixtures to reduce spray drift.” ASTM Standard E609 Terminology Relating to Pesticides defines drift as “the physical movement...

... higher potential for off-target movement or drift, which is of concern due to its potential impact on neighboring crops and livestock, sensitive ecological resources, and human health. Research by the Spray Drift Task Force and others has demonstrated that, although spray nozzle selection and application...

...J. A. Zabkiewicz; K. D. Steele; R. J. Connell The determination of spray drift by agrichemicals in field applications is laborious and expensive. Dyes have been used as tracers to reduce workloads and costs, but these methods have technical drawbacks. Metal cations have also been used as tracers...
