When it comes to pesticide spraying "the label is the law!"
WAND plays a critical role in reducing risks of off-target spraying BUT it is not a "licence to spray." Be sure to also follow the 5 commandments of best practice spraying & spray in accordance with labels🚜
WAND is free. It doesn’t take long to register. It really helps with spray decision making. While you are having lunch today, pause Twitter and spend the 5 minutes to register and have a look. And then text the link to your neighbours and tell them to do the same
Have you heard of WAND? WAND is a free spray drift hazardous weather warning system that will provide real-time weather data for #growers and spray operators about the presence or absence of hazardous temperature #inversions. For more info or to register - https://t.co/ctualCHMpi
A weather warning system is now live for QLD grain and cotton growers.
The system – Weather and Networked Data or WAND – will provide real time weather data about the presence and absence of hazardous temperature inversions: https://t.co/uARhRxn99I

AquaTill is new tech for post-harvest dryland #cotton destruction. It uses a liquid jetstream generated by 50,000psi & operates near Mach3 (🤯) to cut through plant matter. Developed by @FlowWaterjet & the SA NoTill Farmers Assoc, with support from CRDC. Now taking orders! 🙌
A $5.5m investment to help minimise #spraydrift has just been announced by @theGRDC, CRDC & @GoannaAg. Together we're developing a hazardous #weather warning system to provide #realtime weather data & alerts to #growers/spray operators re temp #inversions: https://t.co/w6Eoo3p4kj
@WeedSeeker_Au Love your sunset photo but would suggest adding a reminder about the high risk of surface temperatures inversion from before sunset to after sunrise.
