Efficacy of aerial application on your property

---

Rotation planning shapes how effectively you can spray your farm. The position of each paddock in the landscape influences access, timing and coverage—three factors that directly affect spray performance.

• Low‑lying or wet‑prone paddocks often fall behind schedule with ground rigs. Aircraft maintain full access, keeping the rotation on track.
• Paddocks placed far from main traffic lanes slow ground rigs and reduce hectares per hour. Aircraft remove travel time entirely.
• Heavy soil blocks stay soft longer after rain, delaying ground operations. Aerial application ensures timely protection in these slower‑drying areas.
• Tall‑crop paddocks late in rotation benefit from aerial coverage that reaches the canopy without disturbing the crop.
• Paddocks near sensitive areas can be managed with precise droplet sizes and flight paths to maintain efficacy while managing drift risk.

When rotation planning places high‑value crops in harder‑to‑access paddocks, aerial application often delivers higher real‑world efficacy than ground rigs—not because the chemistry changes, but because the aircraft can treat the paddock at the optimal time, every time.

When rotation planning clusters the same crop types together—such as grouping canola blocks or aligning wheat paddocks—aircraft can cover the area much faster and more efficiently. This improves efficacy because:

• spray settings remain consistent across adjacent paddocks
• aircraft spend more time applying and less time repositioning
• large blocks of the same crop can be treated in a single optimal weather window
• timing is tighter and more uniform, which improves chemical performance

This is especially valuable in seasons with short spray windows, where speed and timing directly influence yield protection.
