Overview

This paper aims to determine the actual loss of the liquid due to the inadequate adjustment and to provide guidelines on how to reduce the loss of the liquid in the same treatment conditions. It also aims to determine the optimal work mode that allows you to reduce both spray drift, in air and on soil, and with that to minimize the loss of protective material outside the treatment zone. In less norm loss in the form of spray drift on soil come to only 8,56% and 14,71% of spray drift in air, which means that the coverage of the plate, which measures the losses, is considerably reduced. The test results indicate losses that occur due to the spray drift in air and on soil. The test results show that despite the use of modern and expensive sprayer, due to incorrectly settings, comes to significant losses in the form of spray drift.
