Aerial Spraying

We are able to apply any product registered for use by air, such as pre and post emergent herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, liquid fertilisers and desiccation products.

Application rates from as low as 300ml/ha (Ultra low volume), such as when spraying locusts, through to 50 l/ha (high volume) using either micronair or hydraulic nozzle equipment.

Spray pattern testing of our aircraft was carried out on our aircraft in Esperance in 2017 to test the spray patterns of each of our aircraft types.

Multiple runs over the string provide a sample of the spray pattern for testing and adjustments to the nozzle arrangement on the boom of each aircraft are made if necessary in order to reduce the co-efficient of variation of the spray pattern.

Computer modelling of various swath widths are calculated to provide the most effective swath width ensuring the most even product application.

 

Aerial Spraying with Precision

Each of our agricultural aircraft is fitted with GPS guidance systems and flow control to ensure the correct rate of product is applied at all times. Flow control adjusts the flow rate according to ground speed as read by the on board GPS.
