Abstract: Systems and methods are for determining and/or forecasting local atmospheric stability and/or turbulence. This information can be used to inform decisions regarding crop spraying, such as whether the atmospheric conditions are sufficiently turbulent to avoid airborne spray fines drifting in an undesirable manner. For example, a spray drift hazard alert system can include a data logger. The data logger is configured to: receive local meteorological observation data from one or more sensors at a location, analyze the data to determine a local vertical turbulence characteristic indicative of a current level of vertical turbulence at the location, compare the vertical turbulence characteristic with a predetermined threshold of the vertical turbulence characteristic, and transmit information to a client device indicating whether local meteorological conditions are suitable for crop spraying based on the comparison between the vertical turbulence characteristic and the predetermined threshold.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to plants having increased resistance to an imidazolinone herbicide. More particularly, the present invention includes wheat plants and triticale plants containing at least one IMI nucleic acid such as an imidazolinone resistant Brookton BR-8 or Krichauff K-42 cultivar. The present invention also includes seeds produced by these wheat plants and triticale plants and methods of controlling weeds in the vicinity of these wheat plants.
