Aerial Broadcast

Best For:

  • Cleaning up moderate to dense weed and brush infestations (>150 plants per acre)
  • Treating large, open areas

How-To:

  • Always read and follow label directions
  • Keep ground-rig booms high enough to clear foliage and provide suitable coverage, but low enough to minimize the chance of drift
  • Calibrate equipment to ensure precise application and economical use of herbicide
  • Maintain constant ground speed and sprayer pressure
  • Apply an adequate total spray volume to ensure good coverage
  • Foam markers can help avoid skips or excessive overlaps
  • Mature brush stands require aerial application
