Pesticide Drift Registration (“Drift Watch”) Tomato industry growers attribute dramatic reduction in losses to this site. Since 2008 we have documented increasing acceptance by crop producers and pesticide applicators.

Driftwatch began in Indiana in 2008, now is expanded to 5 states. Several other states and EPA Region 8 are interested.

Indiana registered 17,000 acres of specialty crops in 2010.
