Subject: RE: Spraying in kinda windy conditions?


As a rough idea, when you have ideal conditions and the wind is kicking up to 12mph, your actual % of your spray volume that will drift off-target legitimately doubles. (12mph is just that sort of sweet spot where it is easy math).

As far as the 15mph and 25mph, you could guesstimate the drift is going to be probably 2.25x at 15mph, and probably 4x at 25mph pretty easily.

Again, when we are talking drift or driftable fines in the industry, we are saying drift is anythat is moving off-target, whether it is 5' off target, 50' off target, or 500' off target.

Adjuvants (e.g. Li-700, Interlock) do help to an extent to cut down your drift upwards of 40%, but that might just give you the gumption to be spraying at like 12-15mph. Again, some drift-reduction agents/adjuvants aren't all compatible with all chem.
