You need to study droplet size from nozzles - not from an eye dropper.
We set our T40 on 280 micron drop size.
Edit to add: We’ve settled on 2.5 gal/acre as the best compromise between coverage and efficiency.
Also use a good surfactant and drift retardant - FS Talent.
I’ve looked at the Becks trials. Too much missing details to draw any conclusion.
We have compared yield vs ground rig - no difference and to a helicopter - drone outyielded it 75% of the time.
