1 Management of spray drift through inversion risk awareness The Spray-Keys to knowing GO/CAUTION/EXTREME CAUTION/STOP Weather conditions for night spraying Research conducted by Graeme Tepper and Warwick Grace
2 5 PAWS: good resources for 2 million hectares Likely effective area Applies to flat and gently undulating country 2 million hectares (20,000 sqkm) For each element (i.e. wind speed) 10 million observations have been analysed.
3 The research integrates spray and air pollution science that describes surface layer motion, stability and dispersion Wind speed at 10m: 7kph Weak turbulence and drainage winds Wind speed at 10m: CALM Adapted from -
4 The research focuses on the conditions that keep pesticides suspended at high concentrations near the surface Turbulence may not vanish as the wind speed appears to become CALM Weak turbulence, confined in layers, has the potential to keep in suspension small aerosols (~<50µm) for considerable time and for long distances.
5 Turbulence intensity controls the dispersion rate of the spray cloud 5 between 3 and 32m (CSIRO) 5 in 32m Weak turbulence in an inversion condition causes 32µm droplets to remain suspended as they float across the paddock 32µm IMAGE: adapted from

14 ACHIEVED Applicable to the broad acres around Katanning 1. Proven that PAWS provide detailed and reliable inversions detection 2. Proved not all inversions pose the same risk 3. PAWS provide data for inversion-risk analysis and advice. 4. Tentatively identified Spray-Keys (Indices), that match traditional stability/dispersion indices, for real-time guidance Go/Caution/Extreme Caution/Stop 1. Shown that over simple terrain that strong stability causes significantly different paddock wind conditions and weak turbulence 2. Although inversion intensity varies across the region; Inversion risks are similar 3. It would be practical for a third party such as (BOM, CSIRO or a university, or commercial weather provider) to forecast inversion-risk advice
15 Need - National Accreditation How well do the current research outcomes translate nationally Test various configurations of PAWS for cost effective rollout Opportunity for - add on sensors frost soil temperature and moisture - rainfall Establish national Australian Standard inversion risk Use data from diverse regions to support Nationally relevant recommendations for: An inversion risk management project expected to include PAWS networks and resources delivered direct from PAWS and from 3 rd parties (forecasts) to Growers. A review of label requirements to the APVMA to include scientific evidence gathered across diverse regions to ensure national integrity.
16 Conclusions Not all inversions pose the same risk Inversion risks need to be quantified PAWS provide accurate and immediate observation of inversions and risks. Forecast advice is feasible for inversions exists and for Spray-Keys. Factoring Spray-Keys into spray planning and spray practices could lead to greater spray opportunity and less drift.
