A perfect example of inversion. This is dust from a disc chain about 4km away before sunrise. Same would apply to chem application, but be invisible. Spraying conditions matter Mary O'Brien

How far will very small spray droplets fall before they lose momentum and subject to drift? David Johnson FMC GRDC North Spray Days

David Johnson from FMC ANZ at the Jondaryan GRDC Spray Day today on spraying effectively with as few fines as possible. Spray Days at NNSW (Narrabri) tomorrow & SNSW (Osborne) next week. Register & details: bit.ly/GRDCSprayDays

Very interesting session Elders thanks for having us. Great to see such a strong focus on IPM.

Terrain Flow + Overwatch (left) vs Overwatch (right). Stellar combination on grasses and BLW in wheat and faba beans 👌

Nozzle selection, tank mix effects on that nozzle, boom height, travel speed & volume all need careful consideration to minimise the production of fine droplets. Read David Johnson (FMC ANZ)'s practical tips on maximising the efficacy of your spray job 💧 buff.ly/3N1HMNn

Education and knowledge sharing are essential to bring about positive changes to reducing off target movement from spray application. Check out the latest videos from Dr David Johnson, FMC's spray application specialist. youtu.be/Pb_S20eUmZM.

Currently attending a FMC Spray Workshop. The video I took below really shows the effect of going from a tank mix with wetter, to a tank mix with On Coarse - an anti drift adjuvant. Zoom in for the best view. A huge improvement for growers to help keep their chem in the paddock!

Impressive turnout at Paskeville today! Huge kudos to all attendees diving into insights from industry leaders on optimising spray equipment to reduce drift, understanding weather conditions, and staying compliant with regulatory standards in agricultural chemical handling. #FMC

A slo-mo video of Teejet TTI 02, when a solution of wetter is in the boom initially, and On Coarse adjuvant is introduced into the boom line. The “white” fan becomes “clear”, with coarse droplets returning to Ultra Coarse. 👌👌 < 1% driftables. 👏👏

Well done to FMC ANZ for their grower/agro workshops to help increase awareness of issues surrounding off-target drift management. Was a pleasure to present about on-farm weather monitoring & stoked to supply the door prize of a Field Monitor mobile weather station. ~170

Hats off to the team behind the successful Spray Application Workshop in South Australia! Grateful to our esteemed speakers: David Johnson, FMC Technical Specialist, for emphasising the impact of nozzle choice and the synergy with adjuvants in spray drift mitigation.

FMC ANZ Congratulations to FMC. One of the best supplier run events I have attended. Great speakers and information sharing. Well done!

Great industry initiative this week through mid north and YP encouraging better chemical stewardship through spray technique. If you missed it you can catch up on key FMC presentations on gpatraining.com.au

Consider using FMC Parachute Spray Oil as the preferred adjuvant when doing post-emergent grass and BLW sprays in canola and pulses this season. It is a superior mineral oil, is IPM friendly and has registered claims against GPA. Always refer to the product label.

Overwatch has really proven beneficial in some canola programs, taking pressure off in crop herbicides. This high pressure headland would be out of control without it. Always amazes me the pink ryegrass still sucks up clethodim fine and dies.

Confused about pre-em application in dry seeding conditions?🤔 Check out our article summarising info Mark Yerbury & Mark Congreve shared on our recent webinar about dry seeding + pre-ems 🎥 Great for our Southern & Western growers out there 🌏 Read ➡️ buff.ly/4dFGGC9

With the sowing period here, it’s crucial that all producers conduct spray operations safely. Before doing any chemical spraying, read your chosen product’s instructions on the label and follow these general guidelines - ow.ly/9GWG50RF6BZ
