1 20'' 3/30/2018 Redball-Hooded Sprayers Reduce Drift 2018 Season Control Drift with Redball Broadcast Hoods The Redball Broadcast Spray Hood was first released in In 2013 Willmar Fabrication re-launched the hood, Gen II, with a new design for improved performance. The Gen II Broadcast Hood can reduce wind from interrupting the spray pattern by enclosing the boom, which causes spray drift.

2 Air Flow Inside the Redball Broadcast Hood Click here for the Air Flow Inside the Hood video on YouTube Spray Drift Study Willmar Fab in cooperation with Mississippi State University and the University of Nebraska conducted spray drift field trials in 2015 and The trials compared spraying with a Redball- Hooded Boom and an open boom using various tip sizes in wind speeds 7-9 mph. The trials concluded that regardless of tip size the Redball-Hooded Sprayer significantly reduces drift outside the intended spray pattern. Review the full study at WillmarFab.com. 4 2

3 Spray Drift Study Averaged Results Spray Drift Study Fine & Ultra Coarse Droplets There was less drift at 7 feet with a Redball-Hooded sprayer than with an open boom at 110 feet per study. 6 3

5 2017 Redball Broadcast Hooded Sprayer End-Users Feedback 75% did not see any drifting into the required 110 foot buffer 70% thought they had better weed control using the Redball Broadcast Hooded Sprayer than they would have if they used an open boom 28% used with other pesticides in 2017, but 84% plan to use with other pesticides in % felt drift issues would be reduced if more farmers used Redball Broadcast Hooded Sprayers 98% would recommend Redball Broadcast Hooded Sprayers to other growers to manage drift 9 What are Redball Broadcast Hooded Sprayer End-Users saying We sprayed Assure II on our beans, the next rows of corn were 15'' away, we had no injury to corn. We operated two hooded sprayers on self-propelled units. I think every farmer should have one or more. I have used my hood for Gramoxone and glyphosate because of drift. Used mine for 2,4-DB and Cadre in peanuts. Would like another rig. Used my hooded sprayer for Gramoxone this year, from having no drift from Gramoxone this year I think it will work perfect for XtendiMax. Using Redball Broadcast Hooded Sprayer can reduce drift by at least 85%, I would not spray without one. Assure is a registered trademark of E.I. du Pont Nemours and Company or its affiliates.

6 Drift Reduction Technology Rating Submitted academic data to EPA for Drift Reduction Technology (DRT) Rating in October Pending rating sample rating logo 11 Can RBHS Impact the Development of Weed Resistance to Dicamba? Weed resistant management Using Redball Broadcast Hoods could help prevent exposing weeds in the buffer to low levels of herbicide due to drift, which could help develop resistance to that herbicide.
