Extract

Growth regulating type herbicides have been found to be effective when applied in low volume sprays. Uniformity of spray application has become a paramount requirement because of the high concentration of the spray solution. Volumes of one to ten gallons of solution per acre are not uncommon. Low volume application requires good design, construction, and operation of equipment. Air movement, temperature, and humidity also influence the spray deposition.
