DC-7B Aircraft Spray System for Large-Area Insect Control

Abstract

Dugway Proving Ground conducted 10 trials of the DC-7B aircraft aerial spray system during October 1974. Two spray formulations were disseminated and evaluated using three flow rates. Spray droplets were sampled vertically on towers and horizontally on ground surfaces. This report presents data on deposition and impaction sampling, droplet spectra, spray mass deposit, swath width, and mathematical modeling of the spray behavior. (Author)
