Cotton growers urge reponsible spraying

Farmers are being reminded to spray chemicals responsibly to avoid potentially devastating spray drift.

Cotton growers suffered millions of dollars’ worth of lost production last summer – caused by group 4 chemicals drifting onto crops.

Grains, tomatoes, grapes and other crops are also susceptible.

Rural reporter Brady Evans spoke to Cotton Australia’s General Manager Michael Murray about the dangers of spray drift, and what farmers can do to minimise the risk.
