What do you do when raising the boom sprayer?

Increase application rate
Increase drift
Reduce or eliminate the overlap and increase drift
Reduce nozzle pressure

The correct answer is: Reduce or eliminate the overlap and increase drift

When you raise the boom sprayer, you are increasing the distance between the nozzle and the target crop. This causes a decrease in the amount of spray that reaches the target and can lead to patchy coverage. Increasing the application rate (A) would result in using more spray, but it may not effectively reach the target plants. Increasing drift (B) should be avoided because it can cause off-target damage and decrease the effectiveness of the application. Reducing nozzle pressure (D) can result in uneven coverage and decrease the efficiency of the spray. The best option is to reduce or eliminate the overlap and increase drift (C) to ensure that the spray reaches the target plants effectively and efficiently.
