Aerial application, or what was formerly referred to as crop dusting, involves spraying crops with crop protection products from an agricultural aircraft.

Until recently you needed a specialized agricultural aircraft to perform this operation but now, you can cut rates, costs and worry with your own ultralight spray rig.

The Aerial Application Agricultural Spray combines new pumps and spray heads designed to be more reliable. First used on Quicksilver’s Ultralight in 1982, the technology and the results obtained by it leave no question that low and ultra-low volume CDA spraying is a viable alternative in today’s environmentally aware world. Better results are achieved with fewer chemicals.

Some of the benefits of crop spraying with a GT 500 AG include a significant reduction in application cost by utilizing an ultralight/light aircraft and a notable improvement in coverage and control through consistent application of the best suited droplet size for better penetration of crop canopy, decreased drift potential and evaporation, and greater adherence of chemical to the leaves.. The spray system was designed to promote economically and ecologically sound spray methods that are the future of agricultural aviation.
