What it takes to spray canola in Oklahoma
Sclerotinia fungicide at 20–50% bloom is timing-critical; drones hit the narrow window on soft northern ground when sprayers are stuck.
- Carrier volume: 2–3 GPA — higher volumes cost more per acre (more refills, fewer acres/hour).
- Typical passes: 1–2 (sclerotinia fungicide at bloom).
- Grown in Oklahoma: 10,804 harvested acres (USDA Census of Agriculture 2022) — so there’s real, sprayable canola acreage for operators here.
