Bretthauer, Scott: Making Effective Pesticide Applications

This session will discuss how to make pesticide applications that are both effective and safe. The importance of spray droplet size will be covered, as well as how applicators can determine the appropriate droplet and select and operate their spray equipment to generate that droplet size. The impact of adjuvants on droplet size will also be discussed. Research involving both ground and aerial applications will be reviewed to help highlight recommendations. Instructor: Dr. Scott Bretthauer, University of Illinois
