Polymeric drift control adjuvants (DCAs) increase the droplet size produced during agricultural spraying which minimizes drift of agrichemicals. Current DCAs are reviewed, highlighting key weaknesses and the mechanism through which they increase droplet size. A discussion on the applicability of new polymer chemistries and architectures to drift control then follows.
