Contact: Drift from boom sprayers 3. Field drift experiments To investigate the effect of meteorological conditions and spray application technique on the amount of near-field sedimenting spray drift D NUYTTENS 1, M DE SCHAMPHELEIRE 2, K BAETENS 3, D DEKEYSER 1 & B SONCK 1 1 Institute for Agricultural and Fisheries Research (ILVO), Technology & Food, Agricultural Engineering, Belgium 2 Department of Crop Protection, University Ghent, Belgium 3 MeBioS, Department Biosystems, Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium Measuring set-up  Experiments performed on grassland  24 Machery – Nachel filter paper collectors (type 751, 0.25 m x 0.25 m)  Spray liquid: brilliant sulfoflavine (3 g.L -1 ) + surfactant Tween 20 (0.1%)  Meteorological measurements Wind speed & direction at 1.50 m & 3.25 m (ultrasonic) Turbulence intensity, dewpoint temperature, atmospheric stability, solar radiation Temperature and relative humidity at 1.25 m & 2.15 m Objective Materials and Methods Results Nuyttens D, De Schampheleire M, Baetens K, Sonck B The influence of operator controlled variables on spray drift from field crop sprayers.
