title = "Spray drift and bufferzones",
abstract = "A summary is given on field measurements of spray drift research for the past 10 years in the Netherlands. Results are presented for orchard spraying, and arable field spraying for the typical Dutch situation, related to defined distances and dimensions of the surface water. Spray drift research was setup in order to identify and quantify drift-reducing technologies. Results are presented for cross-flow sprayers, tunnel sprayers, and air-assisted field sprayers. The effect of nozzle type selection on spray drift is highlighted. The use of spray drift data in regulation is discussed. The effect of spray drift reducing technologies in combination with crop- and spray-free bufferzones is outlined. An overview is given of similar approaches in other countries. It is concluded that the right choice of spray technology can be used to minimize spray- and crop-free bufferzones and maintain acceptable levels of ecotoxicological risk in the surface water.",
