What does "low-volume application" primarily benefit in terms of herbicide use?

The concept of "low-volume application" in herbicide use is primarily designed to maximize the concentration of the herbicide per unit area treated. This method reduces the total volume of carrier (usually water) used in application, meaning that a higher percentage of the applied solution is the active herbicide itself.

By enhancing the concentration, low-volume application can lead to more effective control of targeted weeds, as the herbicide is more potent in the smaller quantities used. This approach is particularly useful for controlling tough or resistant weed species, where a stronger concentration can make a significant difference in the effectiveness of the treatment.

While reduced herbicide costs, expanded coverage area, and faster application times can be benefits of different application strategies, the core advantage of low-volume application lies in the increased concentration of the herbicide, allowing for more efficient usage and targeted control.
