Advantages of Helicopter Crop Spraying:
Better coverage.
No trampling of crops or compaction of soil
Advanced GPS technology for accuracy and precision.
The down wash from the rotor blade pushes the product deep into the canopy.
The tip vertices that come off the rotor blades allow for product distribution to the underside of the leaves (especially important with insecticides, aphids in particular).
The cost is incredibly comparable to ground spraying when you factor in the absence of damaged crops.
No ruts are made in the fields (which can occur with ground sprayers).
