Technology helps fight against spray drift
20 Feb 2002
A Queensland aviation company, in a world first, has developed a system that it says stops spray drift of chemicals that can cause the contamination of beef and the death of some crops. $300,000 dollars has been spent researching the system that allows crop-dusting pilots to change droplet size and the width of boom sprays, while flying.
Named the Jones Air Rotating Boom Assembly, or JARBA, the equipment has been targeted as having significant export potential, especially in the United States.
