What is band spraying?

Band spraying is a technique used in agriculture to apply herbicides in strips or bands rather than covering the entire area uniformly. This method is often employed to target specific rows of crops while minimizing chemical usage, which can be beneficial for environmental considerations and cost savings. By applying the spray in a strip with an even spray flat fan nozzle, the application can be controlled more precisely, ensuring adequate coverage of the intended areas while avoiding overlap or excessive application outside of the targeted zones. This technique is particularly useful in situations where crops are planted in rows, allowing for effective weed control with reduced herbicide volume.
