Adding an adjuvant to your spray solution can effectively reduce drift by increasing the spray droplet size. When adjuvants are incorporated into the mix, they can modify the physical properties of the spray solution, including enhancing droplet size. Larger droplets are less susceptible to being carried away by wind, which is a critical factor in minimizing drift during application. By ensuring that droplets are larger, they are more likely to settle on the target area rather than dispersing into the air.

While other factors such as oil content or surface tension can influence spray solutions, they don't address drift reduction as directly as droplet size. Increasing oil content may enhance coverage or adherence to surfaces, and changing color might help in visibility but does not impact drift. Decreasing surface tension could actually result in finer droplets, which would increase the risk of drift rather than mitigate it. Thus, focusing on droplet size is key to effectively managing drift during spraying activities.
