IMPORTANCE Of AERIAL APPLICATION *Aerial application is often the only, or most economic, method for timely pesticide application. It permits large and often remote areas to be treated rapidly, far faster than any other form of application. *When wet soil conditions, rolling terrain or dense plant foliage prevents other methods of treating an area, aerial application may be the only remaining method of pest treatment. *Aerial application is conducive to higher crop yields, as it is non-disruptive to the crop by treating above it and not within it. *Aerial application does not cause soil compaction, hence preventing soil runoff. *The aerial application of crop protection products results in greater harvest yields of crops. This in turn results in less land being used for agricultural production, hence the preservation of important wetland and forest Eco-systems important to carbon sequestration and habitat to threatened and endangered species.
