Why choose aerial application
- Aerial application helps avoid track damage to crops, which can enhance yields. In contrast, ground equipment often incurs damage, averaging around 3% to 5% in areas with more obstacles.
- Aerial spraying covers large acreage quickly, allowing treatments to be applied precisely during short, critical windows, to maximize effectiveness .
- Aerial application reduces the risk of spreading disease as there is no direct contact with the soil. This prevents the movement of spores and minimizes damage to plants, which can lead to susceptibility to diseases
- Using aerial methods avoids soil compaction associated with ground equipment, allowing for better air and water movement into the root zone. This helps maintain soil health and prevents problems during harvest and seeding due to ruts or trampled straw.
- Aerial application can be performed regardless of crop height, enabling late-stage application of fungicides, pesticides, fertilizers, or insecticides without restrictions.
