@GretaThunberg This so scary i dont know what to think or do. Scary beyond scary.

@Spray_Guy @spray_kiwi @appinsightllc Great to see this story about coverage. So important to get coverage right! If you can monitor it you can manage it. Well done on this story.

[AlisonMacGregor @SprayDownUnder]

@Spray_Guy @appinsightllc I agree that air set up is overlooked yet so critical. We need a new word that cover air configuration and liquid calibration.

@HortApplication @filfarina Hi scott, great question but chem industry need to help answer it. Impact on molecules of going through the pump surely varies with chemistry. We need more data now, as recirculating sprayers gain popularity in viticulture.

[AlisonMacGregor @SprayDownUnder]

Great to see a sprayer (Croplands Quantam Smartspray) that reduces drift risk by catching and recirculating overspray AND offers dynamic adjustment of upwind-facing versus downwind-facing fan speeds. Demonstrated at AWRI spray application workshops in Western Australia this week.

[AlisonMacGregor @SprayDownUnder]

@Spray_Guy Thats the intention, yes. Manually controlled at this stage, so driver still has to decide on fan speed to counter the cross wind.

@spray_guy & @SprayDownUnder hard at work in Melbourne today
