The effect of travel speed of a truck-mounted ultra-low-volume (ULV) sprayer on its application efficacy was studied at St. Johns County Fairground, Elkton, FL, during summer 2015. The efficacy was assessed by spray deposition, droplet size spectrum, and 24-h mortality of caged adult , using 2 rows of sampling locations, 15 m apart and spread up to 122 m from the spray.
