Reliable Aerial spraying of potato crops

HFM Gatenby Ltd Offers you professional Aerial Spraying of Potatoes for Blight Control

With 2007 being the wettest on record farmers are having to look to other methods when spraying.

Aerial spraying for blight as ground conditions worsen

Farmers Guadian  20 July, 2007

NEARLY 1,000 acres of blight–threatened potatoes were sprayed by helicopter in south west Lancashire this week as ground conditions became impossible for wheeled spraying equipment. more>>

HFM was the company behind the scenes that arranged this work. Providing staff and working with other ground equipment to support the work.

As with Bracken spraying the secret of success is planning and organisation.

The choice of products approved for aerial spraying these days is limited unlike 20 years ago. Maybe more need to be tested and approved if summers continue to be very wet at critical times.
