1 Wind Drift

Drift, agricultural crops

Wind drift approximation for agricultural crops
 
Formula y=exp(ln(B) + bhæld*x-x*A*exp(ahæld*x))
    X<7.5 m x>= 7.5 m
  B 25.70 1.619
  A 2.75 0.675
  bhæld -0.4831 0.4708
  ahæld -0.6020 -0.00613
  x distance
  y Drift, % of dosage

Drift calculated for apples, before and after leaves appear

Drift calculated for apples, before and after leaves appear

Early
Formula:
b *exp(ax) If x<15 a=-0.127 b=39
  else a=-0.102 b=31
       
Late
Formula
b*exp(ax)
If x<10 a=-0.1966 b=28
  else a=-0.0996 B=11
       
  x distance
  y Drift, % of dosage

Drift calculated for spruce

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.
 
Formula Vine a b
y=b*exp(a*log(x)) Early stages -3.07 29.35
  Late stages -3.56 19.66
The final curve is the average of the two curves specified.
