Correct answer to question 6015
- D: Droplets become smaller, so the drift potential of the spray increases
Explanation
Higher pressure breaks the liquid into finer droplets, which stay airborne longer and drift farther. To reduce drift, use the lowest pressure the nozzle allows within its recommended range.
