Identify sensitive
areas and hazards within and surrounding the application area, i.e. schools,
roads, footpaths, houses, waterways, organic or other crops
Develop strategies
to minimise spray drift specific to each sensitive area such as:
- Timing (spray outside school hours, during low traffic flow)
- Knowledge of neighbourhood (bees in neighbours block, don’t spray
insecticides toxic to bees)
- Buffer zones
- Hedges
- Wind direction.
The identification
of sensitive areas and hazards, and strategies to avoid their contamination, are
part of a Property Spray Plan.
