GRDC Code: MRE2111-001SAX
NGN - Weather essentials for Pesticide Application technical content review and update
Recent research trial work associated with "MRE00002 Air Inversion Modelling to manage spray drift" has identified new information primarily relating to the development of hazardous surface temperature inversion events that requires extension to growers and advisers. It is therefore timely to update the GRDC Publication 'Weather Essentials for Pesticide Application" last updated September 2017 and the associated factsheet "Hazardous Surface Temperature Inversions" last updated August 2019.
