CottonMap goes online to targetspray drift

摘要

Following a major technical upgrade, the Cotton-Map system which protects the Australian Cotton industry from the adverse impact of Phenoxy herbicide spray drift will be accessible on smart phones and tablet devices this season. CottonMap is a joint effort between Cotton Australia, Cotton Research and Development Corporation (CRDC), Grains Research Development Corporation and Nufarm to minimise off-target damage from downward herbicide application, particularly during fallow spraying by plotting online nearby cotton fields. The enhanced technology now means cotton growers can more easily register the fields they are planting with cotton, while their neighbours can also use their iphone and smart phone device to check for cotton before spraying.
