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

The target depth for pests treated with broadcast row treatments is typically between 12 to 24 inches. This depth is effective because many soil-dwelling pests and their larvae inhabit this specific zone, where they can pose significant risks to plant health and crop yields. By focusing treatment in this depth range, applicators ensure that the active ingredients reach the pests effectively, maximizing the likelihood of pest control.

As soil depth increases, the density and composition of the soil can influence the efficacy of the treatment. The targeted 12 to 24 inch range strikes a balance between reaching the pests while still being manageable for application techniques and methods used in commercial practices. This depth aligns with standard agronomic practices and pest control recommendations, making it the most suitable choice for broadcast treatments.
