Which nozzle type can help reduce drift problems?

Using a nozzle that produces larger droplets is effective in reducing drift problems primarily because larger droplets are less susceptible to being carried away by wind compared to smaller droplets. When pesticides are applied using smaller droplets, they can be more easily dispersed by air currents, leading to drift, which can result in unintended exposure to surrounding plants, animals, and humans.

Larger droplets tend to fall to the ground more rapidly due to their increased weight and surface area, minimizing the chance of them being carried off-target. This is particularly important in sensitive environments or when applying chemicals near water sources or non-target crops.

The other nozzle types may offer some benefits, such as adjustability or different spray patterns, but they do not inherently minimize drift in the same effective way that producing larger droplets does.
