It depends on crop canopy as well as plant to plant spacing. normally 11 to 15litres one acre gets completed.

Till date we have covered more than 4000+ acres in almost all crops and we have more than 1500+ happy farmers on the effectiveness and cost economy. It is a continuous process

It depends on expertise and experience of Pilot. Our Pilots are specially trained on how to Fly on such crops i.e. at what speed / at what height / what should be the flow percentage and various other parameters.

Yes, because of wind thrust the leaves are shaken and spray also covers back of the leaves
