Vineyard spraying is the number one agricultural application for Proptec atomizers, with tens of thousands of acres applied every year across the US and Canada. If you drink wine or purple grape juice from New York, Missouri, Michigan, Washington, Oregon, British Columbia, or Niagara, there is a decent chance that the grapes were sprayed by Proptec™.

Proptec Sprayers have the unique ability to flip the leaves back and forth to cover thoroughly, even when there are 6-7 layers. The massive quantity of fine droplets created by Proptec, along with the high air volume, push spray everywhere: the stems and bark crevasses(all sides), into the blossoms, inside the clusters, on the rachis, the backsides of the berries, even in the leaf stoma. You name it, it gets covered. Phomopsis, botrytis, even black rot cannot hide from Proptec. If you spray a material that controls the disease, time your sprays properly, and your sprayer is properly operated (not difficult) you will get outstanding control.
