Rainy Season and Agribusiness: Essential Spraying Practices for Summer

High temperatures and frequent rainfall make summer a particularly challenging time for agribusiness. Excess moisture, intense heat, and unpredictable conditions demand extra care in crop management.

Among the most critical tasks during this period is spraying — a process that, when planned and executed correctly, can significantly improve crop health and productivity.

In this article, we’ll cover the main climate-related threats, the best practices for summer spraying, and how our Rotoplastyc solutions can help optimize field operations.
Let’s dive in!


How Summer Weather Affects Crops

The combination of heat and heavy rainfall can cause serious issues in the field, such as:

  • Irregular Germination
    Excess water disrupts uniform seed growth, compromising plant development from the start.

  • Increased Disease Pressure
    High humidity creates ideal conditions for fungi and other pathogens, leading to potential crop losses.

  • Soil Compaction
    Machinery moving over wet soil compresses the ground, reducing water infiltration and root growth.

  • Delayed Harvest
    Unfavorable weather can slow down fieldwork and impact productivity due to postponed harvesting operations.


Spraying: A Key Ally in Crop Protection

Despite the hurdles, spraying in summer is one of the most effective ways to protect crops and mitigate climate impact.

When guided by strategy and precision, spraying helps:

  • Prevent disease outbreaks

  • Control pests

  • Support vigorous crop growth


Smart Spraying Practices for the Rainy Season

To ensure spraying success in hot and wet conditions, adopt these essential practices:

  • Assess the Real Need
    Evaluate pest and disease pressure before spraying to avoid unnecessary applications and optimize product use.

  • Calibrate Equipment
    Regularly check nozzles, hoses, and filters to ensure the system is functioning properly and delivering accurate doses.

  • Preserve Soil Health
    Techniques like no-till farming and cover crops reduce compaction and promote water absorption.

  • Apply Preventive Treatments
    Preventive fungicide use is crucial in humid conditions to reduce the risk of disease spread.

  • Plan Spraying Windows
    Monitor weather forecasts and choose periods with lower wind and milder temperatures for more effective applications.


Optimize Your Spray Mix with the Right Equipment

Efficiency begins with a well-prepared tank mix. Using equipment that blends the mixture before spraying improves:

  • Homogeneity of the solution

  • Application quality

  • Equipment lifespan (by preventing nozzle clogging)
