ETV Report
Description:
This ETV program generic verification protocol was prepared and reviewed for the Verification of Pesticide Drift Reduction Technologies project. The protocol provides a detailed methodology for conducting and reporting results from a verification test of pesticide drift reduction technologies. A number of underutilized commercial technologies exist for managing drift; however, little information exists on their effectiveness in reducing spray drift levels. This protocol describes the testing approach used to generate high-quality, peer-reviewed data for several drift reducing technologies including test design and quality assurance aspects.
