Arial seeding removes soil concerns and allows for in-season overseeding onto an existing crop.
An airplane or helicopter can accomplish more in one hour than ground equipment can in an entire day
Aerial Seeding is the process of sowing seeds through the use of plane or helicopter and is considered to be a broadcast method of seeding.
Aerial application also allows seeding to be done when it is physically impossible to use ground equipment, such as when crops are present, or when the soil is too wet for regular equipment. Seeding, germination, and growth of cover crops can begin even before the existing crop has been harvested. This is especially important in areas where there is a very small window of opportunity between crop harvest and the end of the growing season. Waiting to seed a cover crop until after crop harvest may result in poor results because of the cold temperatures or moisture stress.
