AgDRIFT: a model for estimating near-field spray drift from aerial applications.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aerial spray prediction model AgDRIFT embodies the computational engine found in the near-wake Lagrangian model AGricultural DISPersal (AGDISP) but with several important features added that improve the speed and accuracy of its predictions. This article summarizes those changes, describes the overall analytical approach to the model, and details model implementation, application, limits, and computational utilities.

Evaluation of the AgDISP aerial spray algorithms in the AgDRIFT model.
A systematic evaluation of the AgDISP algorithms, which simulate off-site drift and deposition of aerially applied pesticides, contained in the AgDRIFT model was performed by comparing model simulations to field-trial data collected by the Spray Drift Task Force. Field-trial data used for model evaluation included 161 separate trials of typical agriculture aerial applications under a wide range...
متن کاملThe Practical Use of Agdrift® and Other Drift Exposure Models for Aerial, Ground and Orchard Spray Applications
The practical use of spray drift databases and models for predicting drift exposure in pesticide applications is discussed. The AgDRIFT® model, developed by government and industry scientists in the US facilitates such assessments for various application scenarios. Aerial applications can be modelled using a predictive model that considers the effects of application, tank mix, meteorological an...
متن کاملThe GDS model – a Rapid Computational Technique for the Calculation of Aircraft Spray Drift Buffer Distances
A model for predicting the required spray drift buffer distance for a specified off target deposition level is described. The GDS model is based upon Gaussian diffusion and sedimentation of particles originating from an elevated instantaneous line source. Aircraftinduced near wake effects are ignored. Agreement between aircraft wake models FSCBG, AgDRIFT and the GDS model is reasonable for down...
متن کاملSpray drift of pesticides arising from aerial application in cotton.
This paper presents results from field studies carried out during the 1993-1998 Australian cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) seasons to monitor off-target droplet movement of endosulfan (6,7,8,9,10,10-hexachloro-1,5,5a,6,9,9a-hexahydro-6,9-methano-2,4,3-benzodioxathiepin 3-oxide) insecticide applied to a commercial cotton crop. Averaged over a wide range of conditions, off-target deposition 500 m ...
متن کاملResponse of spray drift from aerial applications at a forest edge to atmospheric stability
A biological pesticide was aerially applied to a hardwood forest – corn field edge in a replicated series of single spray swaths. The drift of small droplets, which remained suspended in the air after each spray swath, was monitored remotely and mapped with the University of Connecticut portable, elastic-backscatter lidar. Plumes of small droplets were tracked which drifted off after every spra...
