Advanced Spray Application – Viticulture

This one day course, (followed by an on-farm session setting up spray units) builds on the AgVet Chemical Users Course. It covers: Legislation; Wine Industry Market and Trade Issues; Wine Industry Environmental Sustainability; Droplet Behaviour; Herbicide Spray Application; Canopy Spray Application; Setting Vineyard Spray Programs; Equipment Maintenance.

The program is designed to build the skills of spray applicators so that they will fully understand the principles behind good decision making and how to maximize the effectiveness of their spray application equipment. It also has an emphasis on the weather and atmospheric conditions, and how this will affect droplet behavior. This course is also recognised as an ‘update’ program for the AgVet Chemical users Course.
