Drift, % of dosage |
Drift calculated for spruce

For herbicides: |
For soil treatment, weed cover |
0 |
For leaf-treatment, weed cover |
95 |
Dosage: 0.8 ha/ha due to spray tracks left untreated. |
For small stages, drift follows the agricultural drift curves. |
Drift for insecticide spraying at late stages. |
