Best Management Practices for Orchard Spraying

When spraying rows parallel to sensitive areas, decrease the potential for spray drift and off-target contamination by  spraying only the outside of the outer two to three rows.  Spray  inwards at lower speed for improved coverage.

Sensitive Area

Potential for SPRAY DRIFT is highest in the two to three rows closest to the sensitive area

Return and spray in one direction. 

Spray only away from the sensitive area.

Travel at a lower speed for increased coverage.
