Aerial Application
Aerial application offers several benefits for fresh vegetables and sugarcane. It enables quick and efficient coverage of large areas, saving time and labor compared to ground methods. For fresh vegetables, it facilitates timely pest and disease control, ensuring healthy crops and improved yields. In sugarcane farming, it supports effective pest management, weed control, and nutrient application, boosting crop health and productivity. Aerial application also reaches difficult-to-access areas, reducing the need for machinery in challenging terrain. Overall, it enhances crop management, maximizes yields, and improves efficiency, benefiting both farmers and the agricultural industry.
Using aerial larvicide equipment in mosquito control offers several positive effects: 1. Efficient Coverage: Aerial application can cover large, hard-to-reach areas quickly, including wetlands, marshes, and water bodies where mosquitoes breed. 2. Targeted Treatment: It allows for precise delivery of larvicides to breeding sites, reducing mosquito populations before they reach adulthood, which helps in controlling the spread of diseases like malaria and dengue. 3. Minimized Human Exposure: Aerial application reduces the need for manual labor in hazardous areas, lowering the risk of human exposure to chemicals. 4. Cost-Effective: It is a cost-efficient method for large-scale mosquito control, requiring fewer resources and time than ground-based treatments. 5. Sustainable Control: By targeting the larval stage, it reduces the need for adulticide treatments, providing a more sustainable approach to long-term mosquito management.
Ant Bait
Aerial application of fire ant bait offers several positive outcomes. It allows for efficient coverage of large, hard-to-reach areas, reducing labor and time spent on manual application. This method ensures consistent and precise distribution of bait across vast landscapes, significantly lowering fire ant populations. Aerial spraying is especially beneficial in agricultural settings, where fire ants can damage crops and disrupt farming operations. By targeting nests early, it minimizes the need for more extensive control measures, promoting healthier environments for crops and livestock. Overall, aerial application provides a cost-effective, timely, and sustainable approach to managing fire ant infestations.
Citrus Application
Aerial application in Florida’s citrus groves offers numerous benefits. It allows for rapid and efficient coverage of large, sprawling groves, ensuring timely pest control and nutrient distribution. This method is particularly valuable in managing pests like citrus greening, while also supporting the application of fertilizers and fungicides. Aerial spraying reduces labor costs and minimizes soil compaction compared to ground-based methods. It can be used in areas with challenging terrain, where traditional equipment might struggle. Overall, aerial application enhances crop health, boosts yields, and supports sustainable practices, helping Florida citrus growers maintain productivity and meet market demand.
Ready for the Job
Here at Summer Agro Services LLC, our fleet of Air Tractors, models 802A and 502B, are ready to apply a variety of applications. Our aircraft is equipped with a state-of-the-art GPS tracking system with a swath guidance system that allows for efficient and accurate application. We are self-sufficient only requiring a safe airport close by. We strictly adhere to all applicable State and Federal laws and regulations.
The method of aerial application is conducive to higher crop yields, as it is less invasive on your crops by treating above the field and not within.
