SPRAY DRIFT REDUCTION ADJUVANT

Gravity

To reduce spray drift

Preventing spray drift is a fundamental requirement of good plant protection practices in all crops. It is not only essential for the safety of production and the environment, but economic considerations also point in this direction; therefore, reducing drift is of paramount importance.
While the use of a droplet-retarding adjuvant is essential when desiccating certain field crops, preventing drift is also important in other areas of application. One such area is weed control in fruit orchards and vineyards.
After all, air movement—and the drift it causes—is virtually unavoidable during treatments, and this drift can even cause serious damage to the crop. At the junction of immediately adjacent plant stands, we can also identify a vulnerable zone where drift poses a risk and may cause damage. In such cases, it may be advisable to add a droplet-retarding adjuvant to the first tank mix at the start of spraying and use it to treat the affected border.

Use

The purpose of the Gravity application is to reduce the tendency of spray droplets to drift. It may be particularly useful for crop protection treatments where there is a risk that the spray solution could reach unintended areas due to wind.
In all agricultural crops, it may be applied at a dose of 2 l/ha to prevent drift, at the application time and with the water volume specified in the product registration for the pesticide used.

Fruit crops (pome fruits, stone fruits, shell fruits, and berries)– the product may be used up to 6 times per growing season to control aphids, with an interval of at least 5 days between treatments.

During dormancy, the recommended dose is 3.0%, applied at a spray volume of 800–1,500 L/ha, during the period from dormancy to leaf bud swelling (BBCH 00–02).

During the growing season, the recommended dose is 1.0%, applied at a spray volume of 800–1,000 L/ha, from the onset of shoot growth until 90% fruit size is reached (BBCH 31–79).

Grapes – against the American grapevine leafhopper, the product may be used up to 3 times per growing season at a 3.0% concentration, applied at a spray volume of 800–1,500 L/ha, during the period from dormancy to bud swelling (BBCH 00–02), with an interval of at least 5 days between treatments. Furthermore, it may be used once more at a 3.0% concentration, applied at a spray volume of 800–1,500 L/ha, during the period from dormancy to harvested product(BBCH 97–99)

Occupational safety
