Spraying Equipment and Technology In-service – March 19

An all day, in-person Spraying Equipment and Technology In-service will be held on March 19 at the Waterman Agricultural and Natural Resources Laboratory in Columbus. This in-service will include a mix of basic information on best spraying practices (essential especially for relatively new ANR personnel) and an update on new technology used for precision spraying, including spray drones. There will be hands-on activities and efficient spraying practice demonstrations. The afternoon will include a field demonstration of different spray drones. A discussion session also will identify best strategies to teach pesticide applicators safe, effective, and environmentally friendly application of pesticides.
