Effective Vineyard Spraying with Dr Andrew Landers

PLEASE REGISTER ON-SITE

Presented by and Lunch provided by Bayer CropScience

Vineyard Team is collaborating with Bayer CropScience to bring Dr. Andrew Landers of Cornell University, author of the book Effective Vineyard Spraying for a series of in-depth training courses on better spray application techniques. This workshop will be split between the field and classroom to best demonstrate spraying techniques and technologies that will improve spray deposition, reduce off-target drift, help reduce pesticide use, and show you how to modernize your existing sprayer.

Dr. Landers has graciously agreed to continue teaching after lunch so growers can get the most education possible. End time TBD.

John Roncoroni will talk about herbicide sprayers and Larry Betiga will talk about common problems seen in the field related to poor sprayer calibration.

Objectives of this workshop are:

    Improve your knowledge of spraying techniques leading to better deposition and less drift

    Improve your timeliness of application resulting in better disease and insect control

    Reduce off-target drift keeping you within the law

    Show you how to modernize your existing sprayer

    Inform you of new developments in sprayer design keeping you up-to-date

    Help you potentially reduce pesticide use by 30% - 40%, improving your profitability
