More water = bigger droplets = better penetration and less drift but also more water = more dilution which potentially could mean less efficacyI've had a few farmers say the same to me in the past. They were doing it because they thought the efficacy was better, not because they favoured any particular active over others.
I think more water volume really helps when you are trying to spray weeds out of grassland as you really do need the coverage for them. More water for residual chemistry also makes sense to me but I can't hand on heart say I've seen some massive benefit from where someone has done it.
I would say that you can tend to tell a steady and patient operator from someone in a rush though.
