Foam blanket for crops spreads across the nation
Farmers deploy a ground or aerial foam coating to curb pesticide drift and shield crops from weather, insects, weeds, and disease. Since the mid sixties researchers have pursued foam use with commercial tests expanding last year and about a dozen firms now producing foaming agents or equipment. By this year foam fever grows and experts anticipate foam application on most major crops nationwide.

Foam agriculture targets drift with broader use in crops
An innovation uses agricultural foams to apply pesticides and herbicides as large droplets that stay on target. Foam suspensions reduce chemical drift, cut costs, and boost plant coverage, with tests showing half the chemical costs in Iowa corn and fewer spray applications in Texas cotton. Researchers explore uses from weed control to seedling moisture and pest management by combining foams with attractants or predators.
