Which weather conditions are generally unsuitable for aerial application?

High winds, heavy rain, or extreme temperatures create conditions that significantly interfere with the effectiveness and safety of aerial application.

When wind speeds are high, they can cause the spray to drift off-target, leading to potential damage to non-target areas and reducing the efficacy of the treatment. Heavy rain can wash away the chemicals before they've been effective, while extreme temperatures can affect both the performance of the pesticides and the safety of the applicator.

These factors complicate not just the application process but also increase the risk of environmental contamination and health hazards associated with improperly applied chemicals. Thus, these weather conditions are generally deemed unsuitable for conducting aerial applications effectively and safely.
