What is an advantage of an electronic sprayer volume controller?

An electronic sprayer volume controller offers a significant advantage by being able to adjust the spray output dynamically in response to changes in airspeed. This capability ensures that the amount of pesticide or herbicide being applied remains consistent and effective, regardless of variations in the aircraft's speed during flight. Maintaining a consistent application rate is crucial for achieving optimal coverage and efficacy of the product being used. If airspeed increases, the controller can decrease the spray output to maintain the intended application rate, and conversely, it can increase the output if the airspeed decreases. This adaptability directly contributes to better environmental compliance and effectiveness of the aerial application. Such precision is critical in preventing issues like over-application or under-application, which can affect both crop health and environmental safety.
