Arysta LifeScience has launched a service, called “Arysta Fly,” to give sugarcane growers a unique perspective on weed problems. As part of the program, crop specialists from Arysta LifeScience join sugar mill personnel in a helicopter ride to photograph and visually assess weed control efforts on plantations.
“From the air, it’s easy to see where herbicides failed,” said Jose Gambassi, Marketing — sugar cane Arysta LifeScience. “The most common problems come from broadleaf weeds as morning glory, mucuna, and castor bean. When these weeds are not kept in check, they compete with sugarcane, reducing yields and quality.”
Con la observación aérea y la fotografía, las áreas problemáticas se identifican y diagnostican más fácilmente. Esto conduce a discusiones productivas y decisiones de control de malezas bien informadas en temporadas posteriores.
“The Arysta Fly program is successful because it provides reliable data that we can use to assist clients in determining the optimal usage of herbicides in sugarcane,” Gambassi said.
