Method comprising the steps of: - applying a spray product in accordance with defined application parameters in a target area by means of a spray apparatus, wherein the spray apparatus comprises at least one spray nozzle (S, S1, S2, S3, S4), wherein the target area comprises at least one non-target zone (PA, PA1, PA2, PA3), and/or borders at least one non-target zone (PA, PA1, PA2, PA3) and/or is located in a vicinity of at least one non-target zone (PA, PA1, PA2, PA3), wherein each non-target zone (PA, PA1, PA2, PA3) present is characterized by a minimum distance ( D, D 1, D 2, D 3) which at least must be observed when applying the spray product, - during the application: o determining a direction of an air movement, o determining a position of the at least one spray nozzle (S, S1, S2, S3, S4), o for each non-target zone (PA, PA1, PA2, PA3) present: ascertaining a buffer zone (PB, PB1, PB2, PB3, PB4) corresponding to the non-target zone (PA, PA1, PA2, PA3), wherein the corresponding buffer zone (PB, PB1, PB2, PB3, PB4) extends from the at least one spray nozzle (S, S1, S2, S3, S4) in the direction of the air movement, wherein the corresponding buffer zone (PB, PB1, PB2, PB3, PB4) has an extent in the direction of the air movement that correlates with the minimum distance ( D, D 1, D 2, D 3), o checking whether there is an overlap between the at least one non-target zone (PA, PA1, PA2, PA3) and its corresponding buffer zone (PB, PB1, PB2, PB3, PB4), o in the event of an overlap: adapting application parameters to prevent the overlap, - continuing the application using the adapted application parameters. - applying a spray product in accordance with defined application parameters in a target area by means of a spray apparatus, wherein the spray apparatus comprises at least one spray nozzle (S, S1, S2, S3, S4), wherein the target area comprises at least one non-target zone (PA, PA1, PA2, PA3), and/or borders at least one non-target zone (PA, PA1, PA2, PA3) and/or is located in a vicinity of at least one non-target zone (PA, PA1, PA2, PA3), wherein each non-target zone (PA, PA1, PA2, PA3) present is characterized by a minimum distance ( D, D 1, D 2, D 3) which at least must be observed when applying the spray product, - during the application: o determining a direction of an air movement, o determining a position of the at least one spray nozzle (S, S1, S2, S3, S4), o for each non-target zone (PA, PA1, PA2, PA3) present: ascertaining a buffer zone (PB, PB1, PB2, PB3, PB4) corresponding to the non-target zone (PA, PA1, PA2, PA3), wherein the corresponding buffer zone (PB, PB1, PB2, PB3, PB4) extends from the at least one spray nozzle (S, S1, S2, S3, S4) in the direction of the air movement, wherein the corresponding buffer zone (PB, PB1, PB2, PB3, PB4) has an extent in the direction of the air movement that correlates with the minimum distance ( D, D 1, D 2, D 3), o checking whether there is an overlap between the at least one non-target zone (PA, PA1, PA2, PA3) and its corresponding buffer zone (PB, PB1, PB2, PB3, PB4), o in the event of an overlap: adapting application parameters to prevent the overlap, o determining a direction of an air movement, o determining a position of the at least one spray nozzle (S, S1, S2, S3, S4), o for each non-target zone (PA, PA1, PA2, PA3) present: ascertaining a buffer zone (PB, PB1, PB2, PB3, PB4) corresponding to the non-target zone (PA, PA1, PA2, PA3), wherein the corresponding buffer zone (PB, PB1, PB2, PB3, PB4) extends from the at least one spray nozzle (S, S1, S2, S3, S4) in the direction of the air movement, wherein the corresponding buffer zone (PB, PB1, PB2, PB3, PB4) has an extent in the direction of the air movement that correlates with the minimum distance ( D, D 1, D 2, D 3), o checking whether there is an overlap between the at least one non-target zone (PA, PA1, PA2, PA3) and its corresponding buffer zone (PB, PB1, PB2, PB3, PB4), o in the event of an overlap: adapting application parameters to prevent the overlap, - continuing the application using the adapted application parameters.
