Efficacy And Stewardship: Cornerstones Of Herbicide Application

From: NebraskaFarmer.com

Today’s tough weeds require a high-caliber applicator who is ready to face them head on. A crucial component of this role is reducing spray drift potential. When thinking about herbicide applications, two points should come to mind: efficacy and stewardship. It’s not enough to have one without the other, and proper practices are needed to promote on-target applications.

A helpful resource for applicators looking to improve their own applications is the On Target Application Academy (OTAA). The program, developed by BASF, is a one-of-a-kind educational opportunity that provides extensive hands-on training for increased awareness of herbicide application best practices. Attendees of an OTAA session walk away with a better understanding of how to ensure on-target applications, advocate to coworkers and employees, maximize yield potential and protect crop investments.
