This presentation on international standards/ protocols for drift research is discussing regardless of the existence of many standards on drift research, different laboratories and researches commonly adopt different approaches, how critical is it that we standardise our approaches? What are the “non-negotiables”? How can we harmonize our study sampling designs? (how can we address studies using things like water sensitive papers for “drift” research and presenting the data as good science?) and the bottom line such as, what will regulators accept? US has SAP review process but what about others?

Oral presentation at the Pesticide Application and Drift Modelling Workshop held at Lincoln University, Christchurch, New Zealand 29-31 August 2011.
