Abstract

The system for classifying sprays and atomizers used to apply pesticide
products introduced by BCPC in 1985 has been extended. In addition to the
existing categories of spray quality, a new set of categories classifying sprays
by their drift potential, as measured in comparative wind tunnel tests or
comparable procedures, has been introduced. The two components will be
combined to provide a more comprehensive means to describe sprays and
atomizers. Benefits of the classification system are to allow suppliers and
users of pesticide products to match their spraying equipment more closely to
the requirements of biological performance and environmental protection.
The procedures and protocols used to make the measurements of droplet size
spectrums and drift potential will be issued as standards in due course.
