When it comes to pesticide spraying "the label is the law!" WAND plays a critical role in reducing risks of off-target spraying BUT it is not a "licence to spray." Be sure to also follow the 5 commandments of best practice spraying & spray in accordance with labels🚜

WAND is free. It doesn’t take long to register. It really helps with spray decision making. While you are having lunch today, pause Twitter and spend the 5 minutes to register and have a look. And then text the link to your neighbours and tell them to do the same
