Factors Affecting the Loss of EPTC Applied Through a Sprinkler
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 June 2017
Abstract
Increasing the air temperature from 20 to 32 C, the water temperature from 21 to 30 C, and the wind velocity from 0 to 8 km/h increased the loss of EPTC (S-ethyl dipropyl carbamothioate) from water applied through a sprinkler by 24 to 138%. Decreasing the water temperature from 21 to 10 C decreased the loss of EPTC by 35 to 50%. Decreasing the water pressure or nozzle size by 33% or doubling the herbicide concentration did not affect the percentage of EPTC lost.
