Many agricultural diseases in arable crops are located in target areas that are difficult to reach by conventional �top down� spray application systems when using conventional boom sprayers. Oftentimes, farmers note that weak biological efficacy in crops is the result. Lechler's DroplegULis an application technique that features under canopy nozzle placement. In row crops such as corn, soybeans, cotton, sugar beets, edible beans, and potatoes, the effective spraying window is expanded, and there is high potential for fungicide, insecticide, herbicide and fertilizer prescription adaptations. The nitrogen program in midseason corn can be staged and timed to be available to the crop in ways to increase nitrogen efficacy and minimize crop damage. Drift reduction is realized to be above 95% when using this technique. In blooming crops such as canola, excellent bee care is reached and entry of PPP into honey has been dramatically reduced.
