[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1427583, member: 4362"] This is interesting to me. We have a lot of crops where its used and its often sprayed beside cotton or tobacco with care and respect and never by plane but I've never heard of any cotton kills like you guys suffered in Arkansas. I have seen damage on the edge of cotton fields where the guy spraying was going to fast and you could actually see the drift cross the line but never a kill like you describe. I have no doubt its a real threat but I wonder why the difference. Is it the weather patterns, humidity, larger fields or possibly all the forests we have that can serve as a buffers between fields. I was interested enough to ask a friend who crop dusts and he said you'd have to be a fool to put 2,4-D out by plane so I wonder how much of these large damages aren't caused by aerial applicators spraying rice or being stupid. We have a similar problem with cotton defoliant where it will wax pecan trees just as they are bearing so in sensitive areas like this only ground equipment will be used and this solves that problem. Until I understood what was going on I don't think I'd ever spray 2,4-D in an area like that. [/QUOTE]
