Effective chemical application is far more than simply operating a spray gun or pulling a boom. It is both an art and a science. It requires a good understanding of the equipment being used, the products applied, the environmental conditions at the time of treatment, and the specific characteristics of the application site. Each of these factors plays a critical role in determining product performance and achieving control of the target pest. Specially, with the rising cost of chemicals and labor, the applications need to be as efficient and productive as possible.
