11.7.3 Drift reduction measures

Reschedule treatment for the early morning or the evening hours
(there is generally less wind).

Choose larger nozzles and a higher water spray rate.

Reduce spray pressure.

Precisely maintain the working height of the boom, because the
risk of drifting rises very sharply as the distance between the
nozzles increases.

Reduce operational speed (to below 8 km/h).

Use so-called anti-drift (AD) nozzles or injector (ID) nozzles
(nozzles which produce a high proportion of coarse drops).

Observe the distance requirements of the respective crop pro-
tection agent
11.7.4 Diluting the spray liquid with flushing water
1. Run the pump.
Control terminal, Cleaning menu:
2. Dilute the spray liquid with flushing
water.
3. End dilution.
Observe the display for the required quantity of
flushing water.
The spray agent can be diluted for 2 reasons:

To get rid of excess residual quantities.
Excess residual quantities in the spray liquid tank are initially di-
luted with 10 times the quantity of flushing water to then spray
them out on the field that has already been treated.

Increase the volume of spray liquid to treat a remaining area.
The spray line is flushed on machines with nozzle control. When re-
starting the spraying, two to five minutes will elapse until concentrated
spray liquid can be applied.
