Abstract:
Herbicide drift is a big problem in the ag industry, especially with return of dicamba technology. Sprayers can do many things to try and eliminate drift. One thing that an applicator can do is use an adjuvant. An adjuvant is meant to enhance the performance of a herbicide and keep the herbicide on where it is meant to be placed. Data will be collected through many ways such as drone pictures and in-field evaluations.
