National Working Party on Pesticide Applications

The working party

The National Working Party on Pesticide Applications brings a national, coordinated, technical approach to spray drift issues.

The vision

The vision of the working party is that the regulatory system is science-based and recognises the use of drift reduction technologies, better education and practice to enable the use of smaller, practical buffer zones.

The research program

The working party has developed a program of research to help fulfil that vision.
