What is the outcome of too wide or too narrow overlapping of spray passes?

The outcome of having too wide or too narrow overlapping of spray passes is uneven application patterns. When aerial applicators do not achieve the correct overlap during spraying, it can lead to areas receiving more product than needed, while other areas may receive too little or none at all. This inconsistency in coverage can impact the overall effectiveness of the treatment, potentially leaving some areas under-treated and others over-treated. Uniform application is crucial for both the effectiveness of pest control and the minimization of environmental impact, as well as for ensuring economic efficiency in the use of chemicals. Therefore, accurately managing overlap is essential in achieving good spraying practices.
