The web-based program, Driftwatch, encourages growers of pesticide-averse crops,
or organic crops, to register the locations of their fields in a database maintained by a
central agency. Applicators are also urged to register, and to then check the website’s
database for listed areas before beginning spraying. Registered applicators also receive
email messages alerting them to new drift-sensitive fields that may be recently added
to the database.
