What is Spray Drift in liquid applications of pesticides?

  1. On-target movement of a pesticide

  2. Off-target movement of a pesticide

  3. Ground-targeted application

  4. Aerial targeted application

The correct answer is: Off-target movement of a pesticide

Spray drift in liquid applications of pesticides refers to the off-target movement of the pesticide. This means that when a pesticide is applied, some of it can be carried away from the intended application site by factors like wind or other weather conditions. Off-target movement can lead to unintended exposure to the pesticide by non-target organisms or areas, causing potential harm. It is important for applicators to be aware of spray drift and take necessary precautions to minimize its occurrence.
