Western Australian growers embarking on pre-seeding spraying programs can refine their operations with help from new Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) publications.

Two booklets and three fact sheets relating to agricultural spraying operations have been released by the GRDC.

The booklet Weather Essentials for Pesticide Application is available at www.grdc.com.au/GRDC-Booklet-Weather-Essentials and the booklet Adjuvants – Oils, surfactants and other additives for farm chemicals is at

The GRDC fact sheets, mailed recently to growers in the March/April edition of Ground Cover, include the Spray Mixing Requirements Fact Sheet; the Spray Water Quality Fact Sheet; and the Spray Equipment Fact Sheet – Weather monitoring equipment for agricultural spray operations.
