BfS were, and still are, at the forefront of low drift spray nozzle technology. To reduce drift onto non-target plants, and to safeguard the environment, try these ways to reduce undesirable spray drift :

● Do not spray in windy weather – a light air or breeze is preferable, and do not spray if droplets are blown towards sensitive areas
● Choose a nozzle with a 3-star (75% lower drift) or 4-star (90% lower drift) LERAP rating – BfS have several options
● Use a higher volume of water through a nozzle with a larger orifice, producing larger, less drift prone droplets
● Slow down – Less air movement to affect the smaller droplets
● Alternate adjacent nozzles to face forwards and downwards so there is less droplet impact which will result in smaller, drift prone droplets being created
● Lower the boom (but consistent with the correct overlap and even spray pattern from the nozzles chosen) as the time it takes a droplet to move from the nozzle to the target is critical for drift control. The shorter the time the better.
● Operate the system at a lower pressure – this creates larger droplets which are less prone to drift
● Try an 80º fan angle nozzle if it suits your sprayer - These produce a lower number of small driftable droplets
● Ensure spraying equipment is maintained to a high standard and calibrated on a regular basis
