Abstract:

Accurate forecasts of the drift of pesticides sprayed from aircraft are important to prevent accidental overspray and damage to other wildlife. This report presents estimates of centerline ground-level concentrations of pesticides sprayed from an aircraft for specific locations based upon calculations made by a computer line-source model developed at USAFETAC.
