05.01.2022 All cotton growers are encouraged to play their part in preventing off-target spray d...rift damage by mapping their fields in SataCrop this season. SataCrop is an all-of-agriculture online mapping platform for growers to use. Growers simply log-on to SataCrop and map their fields over satellite imagery. Crops are colour-coded, which helps inform other growers about where sensitive crops are planted when planning their spraying activities. SataCrop can be used to map all crop types, and growers can change the crop type within fields to reflect the different planting seasons. It is vitally important growers do all they can to prevent off-target spray drift from occurring, and by using SataCrop, you’ll be doing your bit to help yourself and your neighbours not be impacted by off-target spray drift. By sharing knowledge and being transparent about what crops are planted where, we can collectively help address this issue and ensure our crops remain healthy. Other spray drift mitigation advice for growers includes: Reading and following spray label instructions. Ensuring you are up to date with the APVMA label changes to 2,4-D products. Check the current and forecast conditions before spraying. Do not spray when there is a surface temperature inversion. Growers can access SataCrop by visiting www.satacrop.com.au
