What does ULV stand for in pesticide application?

ULV stands for Ultra Low Volume in pesticide application. This term refers to a method of applying pesticide that uses significantly less liquid than traditional spraying techniques. ULV applications are effective because they create a fine mist of pesticide droplets, which can cover a large area with a lower volume of product. This approach reduces the amount of chemical used, minimizes environmental impact, and lowers the risk of drift, or off-target application, making it especially useful in urban settings or sensitive areas. The ULV technique is advantageous because it allows for improved penetration and distribution of the pesticide, enhancing its effectiveness while being more resource-efficient.
