Comparison of ground and aerial application spray drift on the Union Camp Corporation Southern States loblolly pine seed orchard in Claxton, GA

Spray drift was at detectable levels in small amounts to 1000 feet for the aircraft and 250 feet for the ground sprayer directly downwind of the spray block .
