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.
|
