agricultural aviation

Agricultural aviation involves using aircraft to efficiently apply fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, and other treatments to crops. This method allows for rapid and broad coverage of large farmland areas, especially where ground equipment isn’t practical. Pilots, trained in safe flying and precise application, operate specially equipped planes or helicopters to enhance crop health and yields. Agricultural aviation reduces labor and time compared to ground methods and can access difficult terrains, making it a vital tool in modern farming practices.
