When spraying time comes around, sometimes things forget to be checked. We all know that when the spray conditions are right it is so important to get into the field as fast as you can. Because of Kentucky weather, we are limited to application timing especially on targeted weeds (referring to size of weeds when they are the easiest to manage) with herbicides, or when we are applying fungicide on a crop, at a certain stage.  The Kentucky weather I am referring to the most is Rain and Wind, that keep us out of the field more than anything. 

This is a sneak peak, about the next blog coming soon, and the questions will be answered and explained on why those things are IMPORTANT!
