- Abstract
The article presents a study which examines the variation in spray drift deposition essential in investigating off-target pesticide spray incidents. It notes that the analysis of filter paper and vegetation samples were employed to investigate incidents of off-target drifts of insecticides. It highlights the variation in the drift profile which suggests the variation in deposition that might be expected over considerable distances. Further, it stresses that the limitations to the interferences was determined by the spatial variation in spray deposits between plots and runs.
