Dwyer Chemical Drift Wind Meter

The new EPA law 40 CFR 170.210 states that "no pesticide should be applied so as to contact, either directly or through drift, any worker or other person, other than equipped pesticide handlers." With this law in mind it is important that agricultural growers possess an instrument to measure chemical drift.

The Dwyer Wind Meter provides and economical way of measuring wind speeds. Two different scales allow user to read from either 2-10 miles per hour or from 4-66 miles per hour.
