New herbicides are being developed that are so detrimental to non-tolerant crops that even slight drift has the potential to have great concern. Research and education can produce better spraying systems, recording equipment, and methodologies for application and use of these new herbicides. This project will address some of these concerns by evaluating current spray nozzle and technics for drift, developing a data recording and drift prediction system for trucks and performing studies on the infiltration and penetration of different droplet spectrum in the soybean canopy.
