Preliminary Results

The team noted a clear growth defect on the onions sprayed with the conventional sprayer, the onions are considerably smaller than the onions in the plots treated with ARA. Overall crop health with the ARA sprayer seems much higher than with the conventional spraying method, even when increasing the dosages of the herbicides used.

Further testing will be completed, and conclusive results are to be published towards the end of the season.
