Marlborough District Council moves to monitor vineyard spray drift

Efforts to track vineyard spray drift are still in the pipeline nine years after a report highlighted gaps in the data collected by the Marlborough District Council. A 2007 report was commissioned by the council in the wake of concerns about the impact of vineyard spraying on air quality in Marlborough. The Envi-ronet report made a series of recommendations aimed at boosting base line data on the impact of vineyard sprays in the region.
