The Citrus Spray Field Day is a 4-hour classroom and field meeting to discuss airblast spray application effectiveness in citrus. Discussions will cover techniques and considerations for optimizing spray deposition and coverage as well as for minimizing pesticide drift. This training will focus on axial airblast sprayer applications directed to citrus (and other tree and vine) canopies; no herbicide boom sprayer applications.
