Subject: Re: Spraying cotton with plane [pictures]



East Central Arkansas
I don't know but we seem to generally get good results when we use the plane. When it's wet and time to spray we don't have much of a choice. I do wish there was still some of the smaller and slower planes around for the smaller jobs and fields. It seems everything has to be the biggest and fastest anymore to survive. With this spray we were using 5 gpa but a lot of sprays go out at 3 gpa. We are using a vegtable oil spray additive to help with the spray coverage and evaporation.I think some of what you were seeing in that picture was that this was a small field he had to dive into and then pull right back up. I sure wouldn't want to have been in there with him. At 150 mph + it's hard to even snap a picture of that plane.
