Brief Project Summary:

An effective pesticide application maximizes product penetration in the soybean canopy while minimizing off-target drift. Droplets that are too large may bounce off leaves and increase soil deposition and subsequent run-off. Small droplets do not have enough mass to be propelled towards the canopy and may become airborne thus increasing off-target drift. The ability to distribute products in the canopy with aerial application depends on spray volume and nozzle technology. The research group will compare the application effectiveness of different hydraulic nozzles, pressures and spray volumes for ground and aerial-based application systems. The researchers will also be monitoring off-target...

Information And Results
Final Project Results

The United Soybean Research Retention policy will display final reports with the project once completed but working files will be purged after three years. And financial information after seven years. All pertinent information is in the final report or if you want more information, please contact the project lead at your state soybean organization or principal investigator listed on the project.
