Feb 3, 2020, Mt Angel, Oregon – “Now, more than ever, it’s extremely important that you use a sprayer that provides complete overall coverage,” states Willie Hartman, Founder of On Target Spray Systems. “It’s easier to control mildew early on when you’re able to apply spray coverage both over and under leaves while also wrapping around the vines themselves.”
Willie explains the top three reasons to switch to an electrostatic sprayer:
1. Use Less Water: When you spray with electrostatic sprayers, you’re using less water while saving time and money. A standard sprayer will typically use one hundred gallons per acre sprayed, whereas our electrostatic sprayers will only use twenty gallons over that same area.
2. Save Valuable Time: We can spray ten acres versus a standard sprayer’s two acres using the same two-hundred-gallon tank. That’s an opportunity to immediately reduce your tank fills by 80%. Add in the time lost because of return trips to refill the tanks, and you can see that valuable time can be recovered using electrostatic sprayers.
3. Make Your Materials Count: By using less water, the spray drops are concentrated and more potent, resulting in less runoff, minimal drift, and improved coverage.
Electrostatic Sprayers Save the (Rainy) Day for East Coast Wine Growers In 2018, East Coast wine grape growers experienced an unusually rainy season causing widespread mildew and rot problems. Some growers didn’t even pick. “With the On Target sprayer, we were able to keep on top of the spray program,” shares Chris Jenkins of Faith Brooke Vineyard in Luray, Virginia. “Timing was critical, application efficiency was critical, and we were able to make it happen. We actually had a fair crop, where a lot of vineyards lost theirs.” Click here to learn more from impacted growers.
