Particle drift potential of mesotrione and rimsulfuron plus thifensulfuron-methyl tank mixture in a low-speed wind tunnel

Abstract

Awareness regarding pesticide off-target movement exists all the time, and in the last few years, research on herbicide drift has been investigated more than ever. The implications with auxin herbicides include very high susceptibility to non-GM crops, tank contamination or volatility issues (McCown et al. 2018;Alves et al. 2020;Soltani et al. 2020). Due to this fact, all applications regarding these kinds of herbicides are regulated with strict application guidelines, including restrictions on nozzle type, and applications are labelled requiring the use of extremely coarse or ultra-coarse sprays
