The Danfoil concept is designed for effective plant protection with significantly lower water consumption per hectare. When the amount of water is reduced, the number of refills is reduced, and you get more spraying time in the field – and less time spent on refilling, transport, and handling.

Why low water volume can work

In the Danfoil system, the water volume is not the only "tool" for achieving coverage. Air assistance and atomization are actively used to support deposition and penetration in the crop. This means that you can often work with higher concentrations and smaller amounts of liquid – without compromising on effectiveness.

• Less "rain off": Very high amounts of water can increase the risk of runoff, especially on dew/wet plants.
• More focus on deposition: Air/atomization can help the droplets to hit and remain in place.
• Stable workflow: fewer stops for refilling result in smoother logistics and more consistent execution.

Capacity gains in practice

When you halve (or reduce) the amount of water, the number of hectares per tank typically increases accordingly. This provides a direct capacity advantage:

• Fewer refills per job → less wasted time and less fuel for transport.
• Higher daily output → better utilization of spraying windows and manpower.
• More flexibility → easier to schedule tasks in relation to weather, wind, and optimal effect.

This is how we think about settings

Instead of "solving everything" with the amount of water, we work with a comprehensive setting: water volume + driving speed + air pressure + boom height . On the subpages about "Spray pattern and droplet spectrum," we go into depth about how it all fits together.
