I agree strongly with the above.

It must have been very windy to carry the droplets .. if that is the

You can vary the speed of the disc for coverage. You have to start and
stop the flow with a switch. *Simple :-)

Mike *P- Hide quoted text -

I formed the impression that a conventional sprayer, rather than CDA
was used and often with those, even with a floodjet, high spraying
pressure can cause the edge of the fan to atomise and those droplets
can carry a long way and they can be pretty well invisible especially
to a careless operative. However there's nowhere to hide when the
damage becomes apparent. If the OP gets independent expert advice,
they'll see glyphosate damage easily enough.
