Ground boom application equipment

Ground boom application equipment should be calibrated as follows ... 

Spray nozzles designed for both aircraft and ground equipment can also be used to enlarge droplet size of the spray. Application equipment can also be modified to reduce drift. For example, shrouding the spray booms of ground equipment keeps droplets from swirling up into the air, thus reducing the potential for drift and applicator exposure. 

The ground application was made with a tractor equipped with a rear mounted boom sprayer. The aerial applications were made with a- helicopter equipped with a boom. The hand-gun applications were made with a commercial high pressure hose-nozzle sprayer.
