About this file
This document is an attachment containing treatment specifications for the Beet Curly Top Virus Control Program, which is part of a state and local contract opportunity issued by the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA). The contract seeks a contractor to provide aerial application of insecticide on an "as-needed" basis. The treatment specifications outline the requirements for both fixed-wing aircraft and drone-based applications, including pesticide, treatment rate, spray system, nozzle configuration, spray pressure, flow rate, droplet size, and coverage rate. The contract opportunity ID is 66aa65bb134782831a0d3bb2, and the state involved is California.
The treatment specifications state that the pesticide to be used is Fyfanon ULV, an ultra-low volume concentrate insecticide containing 96.5% malathion. The application rate is 7.7 ounces of the 96.5% malathion per gallon of mix per acre. The specifications provide detailed requirements for the spray system, nozzles, boom configuration, and other operational parameters for both fixed-wing aircraft and drones. The state reserves the right to change or modify these requirements at its discretion.
