What is a likely consequence of having a clogged in-line screen?

A clogged in-line screen restricts the flow of liquid in an aerial application system, which can lead to a lower application rate. When the screen becomes obstructed with debris, there is less room for liquid to pass through, resulting in reduced output. This situation can also compromise the effectiveness of the application since less product is being delivered to the target area.

It's important to monitor and maintain the in-line screen to ensure optimal performance and prevent issues that could arise from lower application rates, such as insufficient pest control or nutrient delivery. Keeping the screen clear helps maintain the appropriate pressure and flow for achieving accurate and effective applications.
