Beat the Wind When You Spray
Agricultural engineer C E Beer notes wind velocities greatly affect crop spraying and irrigation. Coverage is best with low winds, timing recommendations include early morning or late evening, and July or August for reduced drift. Use cooler temperatures and fuse less volatile herbicides to minimize drift risks. Reprints FSQ70 are available through ISU Extension.
