Best Management Practices for Orchard Spraying

Turn off nozzles at the end of each tree row to reduce spray drift.

Leaving sprayers on past the end of tree rows wastes spay material and significantly increases potential for spray drift.

 

Spray drift is costly both in terms of wasted material and increased risk to human health and natural resources.

 

Reducing spray drift protects human health and natural resources.
