Crop Spraying

Improve operational accuracy and reduce material waste by monitoring weather conditions and determining the best spraying protocol.

For every ton of fertilizer sprayed across the United States, 1,200 pounds is wasted due to inefficient weather practices.

Insight In this Dashboard

severity - 4 extreme

Do Not Spray: High Winds

Wind speed affects the distance a droplet will travel before it is deposited on the target.

spraywinds

severity - 3 sever

Do Not Spray: No Winds

Still air may lead to vapor drift where finer droplets remain suspended in the air, prone to evaporation and drift long after spraying is completed.

severity - 4 extreme

Do Not Spray: Rain

Avoid spraying when foliage is still wet from rain. A leaf can retain only a limited volume of spray, and therefore a limited amount of product.

Ideal Conditions for Spraying: Temp & Humidity

This reduces the chance of drift due to temperature inversions or evaporation. It also increases target deposition and coverage.

severity - 2 moderate

Ideal Conditions For Spraying: Consistent NE Wind Direction

Wind direction determines whether droplets travel toward the target or toward unintended downwind areas such as open water, sensitive crops or areas of human activity.

severity - 3 sever

Spray With Caution or Postpone: Moderate Winds

Higher wind speeds pose the most obvious risk of drift through, around or over target.
