What is a major concern of drift?

  1. 1. Cost of chemicals

  2. 2. Off target damage to vegetation and people

  3. 3. Difficulty in application

  4. 4. Storage of pesticides

The correct answer is: 1. Cost of chemicals

Drift refers to the unintentional movement of pesticides or chemicals from their intended target area. A major concern of drift is the potential for off target damage, which can result in harm to nearby vegetation and people. This is often a result of incorrect application or weather conditions. Difficulty in application and storage of pesticides are also important considerations, but these are not directly related to the issue of drift.
