A new webcast – titled “Tank Cleaning” – has been added to the Focus on Cotton online series from the Plant Management Network and Cotton Incorporated.

Inadequate or improper cleaning of sprayer systems can often cause contamination issues and costly damage to plant foliage. This new webcast helps cotton growers, consultants and other industry experts properly remove all unwanted residue from equipment and prevent the unintentional introduction of herbicides to sensitive or non-labeled cotton crops.

The Focus on Cotton series contains more than 50 webcasts on various aspects of cotton crop management, including agronomic practices, crop protection and ag engineering.
