GRDC Code: ICN2203-002SAX
NGN GRDC Northern Region Industry Spray Day Initiative
Spraying technology is adapting very quickly and growers are constantly considering how new technology fits in their business. This investment will deliver six GRDC Industry Spray Days (three annually for two years) in the GRDC Northern Region.
The events will provide a platform for industry to display technology, innovations, and for industry experts to extend the latest information, and research findings to growers. The investment will also evaluate the value growers and industry partners obtain from these activities and, where possible, the adoption of best spray and chemical management at the farm level.
This investment will also develop a number of technical resources that inform and promote the adoption of best spray and chemical management to growers.
