  2. Why Measure Drop Size? • Drift vs. Efficacy • Pesticide labeling regulations • Provide basic spray quality information to the end user

  3. Drop Size Measurements • Reference tips are acquired and tested periodically • In house laser equipment is used for measurements (Malvern, PMS, PDPA) • Tips are analyzed at various pressures and locations in the spray pattern

  4. PDPA Laser

  5. Droplet Size Calculations • Raw droplet size data is curve fitted • Curve fit data is used to create graphs for each individual tip • Graphs are overlaid on reference template to assign droplet size categories
