Practical application

Article Abstract:

The crop protection chemicals application industry has evolved from its modest beginnings in the 1940s. Row crop sprayers were used in the 1940s for applying 2,4-D fertilizers. In the 1950s, trucks and pull-type trailers with single- or twin-centrifugal spinners were used for custom application of dry fertilizers. In the 1960s, weed-and-feed custom application techniques and high flotation equipment achieved dominant positions in the industry. The application industry shifted its focus in the 1980s and 1990s with the development of site-specific technology and electronic controllers.
