To reduce spray drift, you should

• A. Decrease droplet size
• B. Increase droplet size
• C. Increase sprayer pressure
• D. Use more sprayers in parallel

Answer: (B)

Increasing the droplet size reduces spray drift because heavier droplets settle to the target more quickly and are less easily carried away by wind or air currents. Smaller droplets behave like mist and can travel far from the target, increasing drift. Higher sprayer pressure tends to create finer droplets and more drift, while adding more sprayers in parallel doesn’t inherently reduce drift and can complicate deposition patterns. So, opting for larger droplets is the most effective way among these choices to minimize drift.
