Abstract
Current trends in application technology indicate an increasing realization on the part of manufacturers and users of agricultural chemicals of the important role that application techniques and/or equipment play in the overall success of pesticide application. The trends that are most significantly influencing the way chemicals are currently applied include:
- increased emphasis on improving the accuracy of application
- increased use of low volume application (3-8 GPA)
- renewed interest in use of granular application
- increased use of conservation tillage
- increased emphasis on reduction in environmental contamination, both within and outside the target area
- increased use of highly active cam-pounds
