Readership

Today’s aircraft utilize sophisticated precision application equipment such as GPS (global positioning systems), GIS (geographical information systems), flow controls, real-time meteorological systems and precisely calibrated spray equipment to make sure the pilot is accurate in applying the correct amount of product onto the crop. On the ground, the airplanes are loaded by workers uniformed in protective clothing using closed mixing and loading containment systems to ensure safety to the environment and the worker.
