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).
