2011 GA Vegetable Facts

  • Approximately 200,000 acres
  • 40 different vegetables grown
  • 3rd largest vegetable producing state for A
  • Farm Gate Value: $1,200,000,000

Many of these crops are grown in the same areas often by the same growers.

Off Target Movement Concern

  • Physical drift
  • Volatility
slide-8
SLIDE 8

Off Target Movement Concern

  • Physical drift = related to someone most

likely not following label recommendations

  • Volatility = one can do everything perfect

and there can still be a serious issue

Objective

Volatility needs to be eliminated or at least know exactly how far it could move 2,4-D Choline 2,4-D Amine 2,4-D Ester

Conclusions

  • 1. Ester formulation should not be applied

in Georgia during similar conditions.

  • 2. Choline formulation offers the lowest

potential for off-target movement from volatility.
