Project code: JKI-AT-08-1139
Contract period: 01.06.2016 - 31.12.2017
Purpose of research: Applied research
Keywords: plant protection, environmental conditions, sustainability

Spray drift measurements are performed under a range of reference conditions to assess the amount of applied spray volume blown downwind of a treated area and deposited on the soil surface next to the field. Differences arise between assessments and these are related to the choice of standard reference conditions for tests. Reference conditions are detailed in ISO 22369 but include some scope for flexibility/variation in the environmental characteristics at the point of application, application settings, crop and landscape influences and measurement standards. The aim of the project is to better understand and quantify differences emerging from measurement methodology and choices (e.g., choice of collector, framework of drift deposition collection, role of crop).
