A good drift management program should include a combination of drift reduction techniques because relying on multiple strategies enhances effectiveness in minimizing drift. Different environmental and operational conditions can influence herbicide application; hence, using a variety of techniques allows applicators to adapt to changing circumstances.

By employing various methods, such as adjusting droplet size, modifying application pressure, implementing buffer zones, and considering weather conditions, you can create a more robust strategy that addresses the multifaceted nature of drift. Each technique can counteract specific drift factors—like wind and temperature inversions—ensuring that the herbicide is applied effectively while reducing the risk of non-target exposure. This comprehensive approach ultimately helps to enhance both application efficacy and environmental safety.
