ORGANIC CROP PROTECTION
Aerial application is not only limited to conventional farming, it can play a critical role in protecting and promoting organic crops as well. In fact, for many modern organic farmers, aerial application plays a key role within their farm program.
For example, aerial application of cover crop can assist in weed management or fixing nitrogen in an organic field. Also, an organic farmer may elect to aerially apply certified organic micronutrients to promote crop health and growth. In terms of crop protection, applying organic-approved botanical or synthetic pesticides like horticulture oils, sulfur, copper, pyrethrum, rotenone, Bt or spinosad is central to organic crop health.
SPRAY SYSTEM STERILIZATION
Cross contamination of pesticides is always a concern when it comes to aerial application. Different crop respond in different ways to various products. This is especially true with organic crops and the strict guidelines required for organic certification.
We are highly sensitive to such concerns and have strict triple-rinse procedures that our team adheres to when cleaning and sterilizing spray equipment between products, whether they be for conventional or organic applications.
