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 - bit.ly/wand-app

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: bit.ly/3Pk0IGv
