7.8 Drift Management Strategies
Before spraying:
Train the operator to use the sprayer correctly on your farm under your conditions.
Plan the spraying operation; consider the use of vineyard field work-cards, outlining the amount to be mixed/sprayed per block as a good management tool.
Read and follow the pesticide label.
Select the correct nozzle for the target. Adjust nozzle size and position to achieve correct distribution within the canopy, particularly as the growing season progresses.
Consider using sprayers that direct the spray to the target, such as towers and tunnels. Check that air deflectors are set properly to confine disturbance to the target.
Consider spray additives to reduce drift.
Improve spraying logistics to ensure adequate time to spray within 'ideal' conditions.
Only spray when weather conditions are ideal; avoid spraying when conditions are favorable for atmospheric inversion or wind drift.
Calibrate the sprayer with water to ensure that everything is working correctly.
Start planting windbreaks!
During spraying:
Stay alert: ensure the spray is not allowed to drift on to non-target areas and watch for changes in wind speed and direction.
Keep spray pressure as low as possible and ensure an accurate gauge is used.
If an automatic regulator is fitted, maintain a constant speed and pressure Remember, small increases in speed result in large increases in pressure. The delivered air and spray must be given time to penetrate the canopy.
Avoid spraying near sensitive crops/areas or water bodies; use a 50 to 100 feet buffer zone. Spray inwards with one side of the sprayer for at least 50 feet from the boundary to create a 'headland'.
