Book Description
One of the largest challenges in agriculture is weed management. Improper or sub-optimal application techniques can cause decreased weed control and increased environmental contamination. Effective weed management is highly correlated with the product and the application method. Herbicide performance are affected by environmental conditions; they influence the physiology and growth of a plant and as well the herbicide performance. Among all environmental factors, rain shortly after herbicide application is one of the most harmful issues to the performance of the herbicide. Droplet size is a key factor in pesticide applications in regards to both drift and efficacy. Droplet size can be altered by several application parameters, such as the nozzle type, pressure, orifice size and spray solution. Droplet size is a key component in pesticide application with respect to overall application efficacy and off-target movement. As tank mix ingredients can significantly influence the resulting droplet size, agitation systems are critical to ensuring proper mixing of all components and overall performance. Sitting time, a period where the tank is held in a non-agitated state, potentially affects droplet size as well. The objectives of this research were: 1) understand the influence of nozzle spacing, boom height, nozzle type, on weed control, also expand the scientific knowledge on aforementioned parameters. 2) Evaluate the effect of rainfall after herbicide application on weed control, following certain intervals in order to understand the wash off effect. 3) Analyze the impact of nozzle type, application speed and pressure on weed control, in order to contribute to a more reliable recommendation of such parameters. This research highlights the impact of parameters regulated by the sprayer on weed control and allow a better understanding of how non-chemical parameters affect the efficacy on weed management, as well as a greater understanding on absorption and evaporation of herbicide plus losses of application efficacy. The results will clarify some of the most concerning question on one of the most complex process in agriculture.

Book Description
Herbicide performance is directly related to the amount of active ingredient that has been deposited on the plant. Hence, spray solution characteristics and application parameters are crucial in determining the efficacy of an herbicide application. To maximize the effectiveness of chemical control, methods to deliver full chemical dose must be utilized: allowing the active ingredient to be readily absorbed once added to the carrier and mitigating off-target movement and low herbicide doses. Water is the most frequently used carrier in herbicide applications. Chemical parameters, such as water hardness and pH, can have a critical role in herbicide performance. It is generally believed that weak acid herbicides, such as glyphosate and 2,4-D, have higher dissociation in higher carrier pH, which leads to decreased uptake into plants. Moreover, increased concentration of hard water cations may have antagonistic effect on weak acid herbicide applications. To overcome the negative effect of water quality on weak acid applications, addition of water conditioning adjuvants is recommended. Carrier volume and droplet size are crucial parameters in application technology that can also impact herbicide performance. Nozzles and their spray characteristics have gone under significant development in past decades to enhance spray potential under a wide range of conditions. Introduction of air inclusion nozzles provided the ability to create larger droplets at the same pressure and flow rate as conventional nozzles, resulting in less drift. Controlling off target movement essentiality decreases the potential for herbicide resistance selection on weeds, as well as injury on sensitive crops. Hence, the objectives of this research were to investigate water quality, carrier volume and droplet size effects on herbicide efficacy and drift potential.

Book Description
Field studies conducted in Missouri and Mississippi, in 2017 and 2018, respectively, indicated no droplet size effect on PRE herbicide efficacy, regardless of the herbicide, weed, soil, crop residue and weather conditions during spraying. Nozzle type enhanced herbicide efficacy for one location and herbicide. The TTI60 dual fan nozzle increased pendimethalin weed control, up to 91%, in a high organic matter (OM) soil with large clods and substantial weed pressure. Pendimethalin efficacy was reduced under high OM soils (> 2%) while metribuzin efficacy was reduced under low OM (

Book Description
The application of pesticides in agriculture production systems is a complex process and involves a series of factors that dynamically interact to impact overall pesticide application efficacy. Spray droplet formation, target impaction and deposition, plant uptake, and subsequent biological response are all functions of pesticide active ingredient, nozzle selection, application pressure, and carrier volume. Smaller spray droplets with a lower kinetic energy result in greater spray droplet retention on the leaf surface relative to larger droplets. Consequently, larger spray droplets with higher kinetic energy are poorly retained on the leaf surface and yield minimal coverage of leaf surface tissue. While smaller droplets maximize target coverage and spray droplet retention, larger spray droplets minimize off-target movement and agrichemical transport. Consequently, application factors that maximize pesticide efficacy and minimize off-target movement are often incongruous elements. Therefore, the objective of this research was to evaluate the impact of carrier volume and spray droplet size on the efficacy of various pesticide applications in Mississippi. These data indicate that 1) for thrips and tarnished plant bug control, acephate and sulfoxaflor are superior dicamba application partners relative to dimethoate and thiamethoxam, respectively, insecticide efficacy did not vary due to spray droplet size when applied without dicamba, and maximum efficacy was achieved with a carrier volume of 187 L ha-1; 2) dicamba + acephate and dicamba + thiamethoxam or sulfoxaflor are efficacious options to control Palmer amaranth relative to dicamba applied alone, and maximum Palmer amaranth control was achieved with a carrier volume of 187 L ha-1; 3) cotton defoliation efficacy is positively and negatively correlated with carrier volume and spray droplet size, respectively, and maximum efficacy was achieved with cotton defoliation programs consisting of two-applications, each with a carrier volume of 187 L ha-1 and 200 μm droplets; 4) soybean harvest aid efficacy is primarily a function of the harvest aid applied and that the impact of carrier volume and spray droplet size varies across harvest aids. However, when paraquat is applied, a carrier volume between 47 and 187 L ha-1 should be utilized with droplets of 200-500 μm to maximize harvest aid efficacy.

Book Description
An Apache AS1220 self-propelled boom sprayer with a 27.4 m (90 ft) boom was equipped with different sizes (02, 04 and 06) and types (TeeJet AI, XR, AIXR and TTI) of nozzles to achieve medium, very coarse and ultra coarse droplet sizes traveling 11 km/h (7 mph), 19 km/h (12 mph), and 29 km/h (18 mph). These combinations of speed and droplet size were evaluated for percent coverage of the spray and percent control of targeted weeds 3, 7, and 15 days after treatment (DAT). Four replications were conducted for each speed and droplet size combination except for at 19 km/h (12 mph) where only three replications were used (35 plots). Significant (p

Book Description
The emergence of new weed control challenges, along with shifts in weed management strategies and cultural practices, has resulted in an increased reliance on chemical weed control in United States (US) cropping systems. As a result, numerous weed species have evolved resistance to herbicides such as glyphosate, thus prompting the development of new weed control systems designed to aid growers in managing resistant weeds. While these new weed control options may give growers additional management options, the high sensitivity of broadleaf crops, fruits, and vegetables to products containing 2,4-D or dicamba increases the potential for herbicide drift resulting from application of these herbicides to damage non-target susceptible plants. As a result, herbicide labels for new products such as Enlist Duo contain specific application requirements for both application and meteorological factors aimed at minimizing application drift potential. Drift reduction for ground application of herbicide is typically centered combinations of agricultural nozzle types and spray pressures designed to increase the droplet size distribution of the applied solution, as larger droplets are less prone to off-target movement in the form of spray particle drift. However, the mechanisms by which herbicide droplets drift is a complex process, and is influenced by may application and meteorological factors. Additionally, while minimizing drift should be a goal for all applications, an ideal application of herbicide must also deposit and retain active ingredient on leaf surfaces as well as transfer a lethal dose of herbicide to its intended targets. The objectives of this research were to 1) evaluate the droplet size, droplet initial exit velocity, and drift potential of two venturi-type nozzles in laboratory conditions and 2) determine the influence of nozzle type on the drift potential of a field application of Enlist Duo herbicide.

Book Description
With the development of transgenic crops resistant to auxin herbicides will come an increase in the use of these herbicides for weed control. This new technology will greatly aid growers that have glyphosate-resistant weeds such as Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri S. Wats) in their fields. A challenge will be with farmers that choose not to use this new technology and have susceptible crops on their farm or adjoining farms. Auxin herbicides such as 2, 4-D and dicamba are well-documented as being very injurious to susceptible crops, even at low doses. It is for this reason that research is being conducted to compare the differences in the amount of particle drift with hooded boom sprayers compared to open boom sprayers. Along with this research, various droplet sizes will also be analyzed and compared between the two sprayers.
