Hooded sprayers are excellent tools.
If hooded sprayers are being used, use every precaution you can to keep the spray under the hood. Hooded sprayers must be properly set, calibrated and maintained to be effective. Don't take the attitude, that if it's a hooded sprayer it's gotta be safe, and send a piece of equipment to the field that is not set properly. The hooded sprayer is an excellent tool. It can happen and has happened.
