Which of the following is a method to avoid pesticide drift?

Choosing to utilize larger droplet sizes as allowed by the label is a viable method to avoid pesticide drift. Larger droplets are less susceptible to being carried away by wind compared to smaller droplets, which can easily become airborne and drift to unintended areas. Ensuring that the droplet size is consistent with the label recommendations helps promote effective pest control while minimizing potential off-target exposure to sensitive areas, such as nearby crops, waterways, or residential zones.

The method of using the smallest droplet size possible would typically increase the risk of drift, as finer droplets can be more easily affected by air movement. Ignoring weather conditions during pesticide application disregards critical factors that can contribute to drift, such as wind speed and direction. Applying pesticides only at night may not always be practical or the best approach, as it does not specifically address droplet size or other factors that contribute to drift, and may not be permissible for all pesticides.
