What is the main feature of high-volume application in herbicide treatments?

In high-volume application of herbicides, a lower concentration of herbicide in the solution is typically utilized. This method involves applying a larger volume of the diluted mixture over a larger area, ensuring that the herbicide reaches its target effectively. The intent is to cover the plants thoroughly and provide sufficient herbicide contact to achieve the desired effectiveness without the risks associated with using a higher concentration. Lower concentrations can also help mitigate the potential for environmental damage or harm to non-target species, which is crucial in sensitive industrial or ecological settings.

The focus is on the repeated contact and thorough coverage that a larger volume allows, instead of relying solely on high concentration to control the vegetation. This approach often results in lower overall chemical usage while maintaining efficacy, as it enhances the absorption and translocation within the target plants.
