The name of the game is coverage.  

Air craft can get good coverage at 3 gpa, most ground rigs can not.     The aerial application uses the down draft air as the carrier, the water is just the means of getting the chemical into the air flow.  

 There have been some ground rigs over the years that have used air booms to try to accomplish the same thing that air craft naturally does.    “Miller Spray Air” is one recent example.

I can kinda understand that but you’re still not getting the atomization with 3-5gpa vs. 15-20gpa, at 40oz of Liberty. What kind of pressure does aircraft typically run? Maybe, they’re getting droplet 3X smaller with 5gpa that ground rigs with 15gpa? That would essentially be the same, right?



Aircraft also change the angle of the nozzles in order to change dropped size. Straight back for larger droplets and angled down to cause the droplets to shear making them quite small.
