Saskatchewan Aerial Applicators Association

The Saskatchewan Aerial Applicators Association, in conjunction with Saskatchewan Agriculture, operates an aerial applicator training program that ensures present and future applicators are well-qualified.Calibration Clinics are offered by the Canadian association to test and modify spray equipment and patterns and assist in educating applicators about drift management.Aerial application offers some unique advantages to modern farmers, such as the ability to apply crop protection products in a timely manner (morning and evening desiccation), or apply fungicides, herbicides, or insecticides quickly, even in wet conditions. Crop loss due to compaction is nonexistent, as are ruts or trampled straw, which can cause problems when harvesting or direct seeding.
