The drift of phytosanitary products, besides bringing damage to the producers, can also bring risk to the environment, neighboring crops and the man. It is known and almost repeated as a mantra the ideal environmental conditions for spraying (temperature below 30°C 🌞, relative humidity above 60% 💧 and wind speed less than 10km/h 💨), but we know that these conditions are not maintained throughout the day and often the time interval for spraying is extremely limited, causing the spraying to be carried out under inadequate conditions, and thus the technicians instruct the use of tools that help reduce the risk of drift.
