Comparison of ground and aerial application spray drift on the Union Camp Corporation Southern States loblolly pine seed orchard in Claxton, GA

Ground application of a spray solution containing Rhodamine WT and water applied with a FMC 757 Speed Sprayer resulted in less drift than did the application from a Cessna Ag Truck fixed wing aircraft. Spray drift was at detectable levels in small amounts to 1000 feet for the aircraft and 250 feet for the ground sprayer directly downwind of the spray block .
