Pesticide Sensitive Crops and Habitats Registry
About Us
Driftwatch is maintained by the Office of the Indiana State Chemist.
This site is meant to help pesticide applicators, speciality crop growers, and stewards of at-risk habitats in Indiana
communicate more effectively to protect pesticide-sensitive areas. Driftwatch is not intended to be a registry for homeowners
or sites less than half an acre.
This site features an easy-to-use Google Maps™ interface that clearly shows applicators the locations of registered areas so they
can take the appropriate precautions before they spray. It's important to remember that the lines on the maps are not property lines;
they merely indicate approximate positions of sensitive lands submitted to us.
Sensitive crop areas registered on this site include beehives, certified organic crops, fruits, grapes, nursery crops, pumpkins, melons,
tomatoes, and vegetables. Other registered sites include streams and bodies of water that are habitats for at-risk animal species or that
supply community drinking water.
