FAQ: How do I get more Produce by changing to a Proptec Sprayer?

Okay, you may not ALWAYS get more produce by switching to Proptec, but it is a common benefit and not that difficult. Getting more produce from the same inputs is not only eco-friendly, it's just smart business. Here's how it works:

1. BETTER COVERAGE USUALLY EQUALS BETTER DISEASE CONTROL.
   • By achieving better coverage of the canopy, and specifically increasing the MINIMUM coverage in the least covered area of the plants, you can generally count on better disease control. If you're not getting better control, look closely at whether you are actually spraying materials that control your disease problem, and spraying them at the right time.

 

2. BETTER COVERAGE ALSO GIVES BETTER UPTAKE OF FOLIAR FERTILIZERS.
   • Small droplets cover more uniformly than big droplets. Smaller droplets also penetrate a canopy more deeply, to the backsides of the leaves. There are 5 times or more stomates(the holes that a plant breathes and absorbs though) on the bottom side of the leaves. The underside of the leaf also stays wetter longer. This combination of longer wetting time and and better uptake, means better utilization of expensive foliar fertilizers.

 

3. HIGHER ACRES PER HOUR MEANS BETTER SPRAY TIMING. BETTER TIMED SPRAYS GENERALLY MEAN BETTER DISEASE CONTROL.
   • Many studies and pesticide educators will tell you that a well-timed spray, from a poor performing sprayer, is better than a poorly timed spray from the best sprayer. They're right! The faster you can get your work done, the more likely you are to get it done on-time. That usually means better diease control.

 

4. BETTER DISEASE CONTROL AND BETTER FERTILIZER UPAKE USUALLY MEANS HEALTHIER PLANTS .
   • If you've controlled your plant diseases and nourished them properly, it usually means that they grow faster than a plant that is constantly fighting the onslaught of disease and struggling for proper nutrition. Less disease means fewer dropped blossoms, fewer blemished fruits, and more productive, photosynthetically active foliage.

 

5. ADD IT UP.
   • Stronger plants yield bigger, better harvests and higher packouts. A better sprayer can help you achieve them. Proptec is a Better Sprayer.

 

6. READ (some of) THE SCIENCE THAT PROVES IT:
• Anthracnose and alternaria loss reduced by 15% in Blueberries.
• Phytophthora losses in pickles reduced
• Potato yields increased 50% by changing sprayer
• Carrot yields increase under organic and conventional spray regimen with Proptec Sprayer
