Why Pesticide Applicators Need FieldCheck

Applicators need reliable information to practice good stewardship when spraying. Whether you are an aerial applicator, retailer, crop producer, mosquito control applicator, vegetation management, or a turf and ornamental grass company, you need to avoid damage from spray drift. That’s where FieldCheck comes in.
 
Developed by FieldWatch to address the needs of all applicators, FieldCheck is a specialized online registry that shows areas identified for sensitivity. These include presence and location of sensitive crops, such as specialty crops, organics, fruits and vegetables, non-GMO as well as conventional row crops by pesticide tolerance, apiary sites, and also seed fields workers in near real time in selected states.
