Agrichemical Understanding & Planning

Our growers are required to develop an Orchard Spray Plan for each KPIN and to make this available to any Contractors they use.

As a Spray Contractor, you are responsible for obtaining a copy of the Spray Plan for each KPIN and checking that it covers:

  • Measures taken to prevent spray drift to and from the orchard

  • Notifications, who will be notified and how (grower or contractor)

  • The orchard/s map is current (updated annually)

  • Sensitive areas

  • Industry shelter requirements are met

  • AI nozzles are used when required

It is important that you follow the procedures in the property spray plan and know what the re-entry periods are for products used and how re-entry periods are managed.

 

NOTE:

For more details, including all principles and criteria, please refer to the “Am I Ready?” checklist.
