Australian farmers use WAND, a real-time weather tech, to safely increase spraying time by four hours daily.
Australian farmers are using WAND, a real-time weather technology developed with support from the GRDC and CRDC, to better predict hazardous spray drift conditions.
The system uses live, location-specific data to detect dangerous temperature inversions, replacing outdated rule-of-thumb methods.
Since its 2022 rollout in Queensland and NSW, WAND has gained about 5,000 daily users and now offers a 24-hour AI-powered forecast.
It has increased safe spraying time by an average of four hours per day, potentially enabling a spray rig to cover 200 extra hectares daily.
The Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority has endorsed the system, which improves safety, productivity, and environmental outcomes.
