What type of damage can herbicide drift cause?

Herbicide drift refers to the movement of herbicide spray or particles from the intended target area to adjacent areas where it can affect non-target plants. This unintentional exposure can lead to various forms of damage such as wilting, stunted growth, leaf curling, or even the death of sensitive plants. Non-target plants may include crops, ornamental plants, or native vegetation that are not meant to be exposed to the herbicide.

The other options suggest positive effects or benefits associated with herbicides, which do not align with the reality of herbicide drift. For example, increased yield in target crops or enhancement of soil quality implies beneficial outcomes rather than damage, while a reduction in the need for pest control suggests a positive impact on pest management rather than addressing the negative consequences of herbicide misuse or misapplication.
