What method involves treating a strip over or between crop rows?

Band treatment is a method that specifically involves applying a pesticide in strips over or between crop rows. This technique is particularly useful for targeting specific areas where pests are likely to be present while minimizing the amount of pesticide used and reducing the potential impact on non-target organisms and the environment. By concentrating the application on the band or strip, growers can effectively manage pests while conserving resources and promoting sustainable agricultural practices.

In contrast, a uniform treatment involves applying the pesticide evenly across the entire area, which may not be as efficient in terms of pest control or environmental safety. Directed sprays focus on applying pesticides directly to the target area or plant, which also differs from the specific strip application of band treatment. Spot treatments are used for localized pest issues and are not designed for treating large areas or rows as band treatment does.
