What is the target depth for pests treated with broadcast row treatments?

The target depth for pests treated with broadcast row treatments is typically in the range of 12 to 24 inches. This depth is chosen based on the typical location of pest habitats and their behavioral patterns. Many soil-dwelling insects and pests can be found within this range, especially since they are often active in the root zone of plants where they feed on roots or organic matter.

By focusing treatment in this specific depth range, applicators can effectively target those insects that are most likely to cause damage to the crops above. Treatments applied deeper than this may not be as effective, as they may miss the active feeding zones of the pests or may not reach the pests that are thriving within the root zone. Properly administering treatments within the identified depth enhances the likelihood of effectiveness and ensures that the pest populations are adequately managed.
