Minimizing off-target herbicide movement using novel application technology

Quick, Hayden B 10 December 2021 (has links) (PDF)
Drift is a point of contention with pesticide applications, causing the need to research application methods that provide consistent efficacy while minimizing off-target movement. Experiments were conducted to evaluate eight undiluted herbicides on invasive woody plants, Chinese tallow (Triadica sebifera) and Callery pear (Pyrus calleryana), when applied individual plant treatment (IPT) via hack-and-squirt. Applications of undiluted aminocyclopyrachlor or imazapyr at 1 ml per 7.6 cm of tree diameter at breast height (DBH) made in the spring provided superior control over other herbicides or application timings. CamelBak® hydration reservoirs were evaluated for storage durability with eight undiluted herbicides. A third study was conducted to assess droplet size and distribution of Roadside Inc.’s new sprayer head for driftable fines. All nozzles were evaluated in a wind tunnel and produced droplet sizes above the benchmark for driftable fines (≤150 μm). The spray head also distributed droplets effectively from 2-30 feet from spray origin.
