New Insecticide Application Concept Description
 
 
Please read the following description about a new insecticide application system.
 
 
This product concept is a new insecticide application system with several benefits. The concept involves an insecticide application system that has the following features:

• Is low volume and with 130 gallons of water and 30 gallons of product will treat 480 acres per day without a water refill allowing more acres to be treated per day.

• Is easy to use, is light weight and can be fitted onto the tongue or toolbar of the planter.

• Eliminates the need for “smart boxes”.

• Is durable and will last as long as current equipment with a similar function.

• The insecticide is at least as effective as what you are using now. Note the following....

- The system only works with the manufacturer’s specific system and insecticide.
- Is available only for soil applied applications at planting.

 
 
Keeping this in mind, please tell me how interesting this concept is to you, using a 7-point scale, where 1 means “not at all interesting” and 7 means “very interesting.”
