wildlife
✔✔off-target drift is defines as - ✔✔the physical movement of pesticides at the time of
application from the site of application to any non-target site
✔✔when a liquid pesticide solution is sprayed fpr mosquito control by ground spraying
equipment or aircraft, pesticide droplet size is determined primarily by - ✔✔the nozzles
of the application equipment
