All this also takes place under a spray shield, with the result that there is no problem with either spray drift or operator exposure. In fact, this shielded, low drift system also improves the window of work during marginal spraying conditions, when an operator using a CDA sprayer or a conventional hydraulic sprayer would have had to stop work, further improving labour productivity. By working close to the ground and under a spray hood, there is far less ability for wind to cause drift.
allowed in public spaces are now reduced to only one litre per hectare by law, and this technology is the only one available that will apply such a small dose and yet effectively kill the weeds. It is also the only system allowed near water courses, bearing out its no-drift credentials. Little wonder then that the word is spreading, with many more users taking advantage of the savings to the environment and their pockets. Whilst the hand held lances are
Another big plus comes out of this application system, as it allows huge reductions in the amount of active herbicide applied per hectare of at least 50%, with no loss of efficacy.

sticks to target foliage and spreads with no dilution or bounce off, as occurs with water based applications, so more of it is absorbed into the target weed. In Holland, glyphosate rates
very popular as an alternative to other hand held equipment, the Mankar ULV system works equally well when fitted to a variety of other equipment such as pedestrian wheeled sprayers, tractors, ATVs, utility vehicles, etc. It has even been further refined to use a weed sensor system that, literally, automates a spraying machine to only spot spray where green foliage is identified by its sensors. This can result in an effective application of glyphosate at well under one litre per hectare, which no other application system can even come close to emulating. In doing so, the system meets
