What do the letters "ULV" stand for?

The letters "ULV" stand for "ultra low volume." This term refers to a type of pesticide application that uses a very small amount of liquid to achieve effective results. In ULV applications, the focus is on creating a fine mist or aerosol, which allows for better coverage and penetration of the target area while minimizing the amount of chemical used. This method is particularly beneficial for aerial applications or in situations where minimizing environmental impact is necessary. The use of ultra low volume techniques helps in reducing the risk of exposure to non-target organisms and also tends to result in a more efficient use of pesticides, leading to cost savings and improved efficacy.
