Does a windy day increase the hazard to you and bystanders when applying pesticides?

A windy day indeed increases the hazard when applying pesticides because the wind can carry pesticide particles or droplets away from the target area. This can lead to unintended exposure for bystanders and other non-target organisms. Pesticides are designed to be effective in specific locations, and wind can disperse them over greater distances than intended, increasing the risk of contamination and damage to the environment, as well as potential health risks to people and animals nearby. Therefore, it is crucial to consider weather conditions like wind speed and direction before applying pesticides to ensure both safety and effectiveness.
