History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 481219-03 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • Aerial applicators, also known as crop dusters, have been around since the early 1900s. The first recorded use of aerial application was in 1906 when John Chaytor spread seed over a swamped valley floor in New Zealand. In the 1920s, the first aerial application of insecticides was conducted in the United States. During World War II, aerial applicators played a crucial role in crop production and pest control. In recent history, aerial applicators have continued to advance their technology and techniques. For example, GPS technology has allowed for more precise application of chemicals, reducing waste and increasing efficiency. Additionally, the use of drones in aerial application has become more prevalent in recent years. In the United States, aerial application has been used since the 1920s. During the 1950s and 1960s, aerial applicators began using helicopters for application, which allowed for more precise application in difficult-to-reach areas. In the 1970s, the industry faced increased regulation due to concerns about environmental and health impacts of chemicals used in aerial application. In response, the industry developed new technologies and techniques to reduce the amount of chemicals used and increase precision. In recent years, the industry has continued to innovate, with the use of drones and precision agriculture technologies becoming more prevalent.
