Oak Processionary Moth
Every year, the oak processionary moth poses major challenges for cities, municipalities, maintenance depots, forestry operations, and service providers. The caterpillars pose significant health risks to people and animals due to their fine stinging hairs. At the same time, tall trees, hard-to-reach areas, and extensive green spaces make effective control difficult. The key to success is therefore plant protection technology that transports the treatment product specifically and evenly into the crown area while ensuring a high reach and as little drift as possible.
VICAR radial blowers generate high air speed with an optimally matched air volume. This reliably carries crop protection products into the tree crown and distributes them evenly across the infested areas. The result is efficient control of the oak processionary moth, with reduced product use and high area coverage.
Advantages of VICAR radial blowers
- targeted application into high tree crowns
- excellent penetration of dense tree crowns
- even coverage of infested areas
- high reach for roadside, park, and forest trees
- reduced drift thanks to precise air guidance
- low crop protection product consumption
- powerful and economical in operation
- robust design and long service life
- easy adaptation to different areas of use
- low-noise operation
The VICAR wetting process: efficient and economical
VICAR radial blowers enable the targeted application of crop protection products even in large tree crowns. The high air speed transports the active ingredients deep into the infested crown area, where they are distributed evenly. The precise air guidance ensures that as much active ingredient as possible reaches the target surface and that drift is significantly reduced.
Especially when combating the oak processionary moth, complete coverage of the nests and habitat areas of the caterpillars is crucial for success. With VICAR technology, even hard-to-reach areas can be treated efficiently and large areas can be processed in a short time.
This approach offers numerous advantages:
- high area coverage for municipal and forestry applications
- lower consumption of crop protection products
- reduced working time and fuel costs
- less drift thanks to targeted air guidance
- economical treatment of large tree and park populations
- flexible adaptation to different tree sizes and operating conditions
- reliable control even in hard-to-reach crown areas
An efficient solution for municipalities, maintenance depots, and service providers
Whether roadside trees, parks, schoolyards, sports facilities, or public green spaces - VICAR radial blowers support municipalities and professional service providers in the fast and effective control of the oak processionary moth. The high reach and precise air guidance enable economical treatment of large tree populations and help minimize health risks for the public and for operating personnel.
Powerful technology for professional use
For controlling the oak processionary moth, VICAR's powerful turbines are particularly suitable and can be selected individually depending on the area of use and tree height.
