Comparison of droplet spectral of fluorescent tracers commonly used to measure pesticide deposition and drift

摘要

Five water soluble fluorescent tracers, (Rhodamine WT, Tinopal CBS-X, Eosin OJ, Brilliant Sulphaflavine, and Uvitex EC), and one non-ionic adjuvant, Induce, were studied to determine their effects upon atomization. The solutiosn were sprayed through an XR8004VS fan nozzle tip at 276 kPa (40 psi). The drop spectra were measured using an Aerometrics PDPA 100-1D with the nozzle positioned 30 cm above the probe volume.
