WIND INFLUENCE
If possible, avoid spraying in windy conditions. If this is not possible, remember the following:
•
use special nozzles (“Anti drift”, injection nozzles, etc.)
•
use nozzles with larger flow rates
•
lower the pressure during spraying
•
use nozzles which spray bigger drops (400 μm)
•
reduce the working speed sprinkle in wind direction.

WATER CONSUMPTION DURING SPRAYING
Adjust the water consumption to the growth of the crop and the way the protection agent is working
which you will be using. Normally, the water consumption per hectare ranges from 100 to 600 litres.
When using herbicides, which are commonly sprayed on weedy crops bare of plants, use smaller water
quantities (from 100 to 300 litres). Too much water can lower the spraying efficiency, especially when
using herbicides which are absorbed through the leaves of the weed. When spraying plants with
fungicides and insecticides, a higher amount of water is normally used. Too much water, however, can
cause insecticide to drip of the leaves and therefore loss of insecticide.
