What can result from good communication with the ground crew before and during pesticide application?

Good communication with the ground crew before and during pesticide application is vital for several reasons that contribute to the efficiency and safety of the operation. When the aerial applicator communicates effectively with the ground crew, it ensures that everyone is on the same page regarding the application plan, objectives, timing, and any potential hazards.

This improved coordination can lead to a smoother workflow, allowing the aerial applicator to operate more effectively without unnecessary interruptions or misunderstandings. As a result, there will likely be fewer job delays because the crew is prepared and ready for each phase of the application process, minimizing downtime and improving overall productivity.

In contrast, poor communication typically leads to confusion and misalignment between the aerial applicator and the crew, which can result in delays. This is particularly important in operations involving pesticides, where timing can be critical to achieve effective application and minimize risks to both the environment and human health.
