THE PILOT SAID THE AIRPLANE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING DURING A TURN AROUND MANEUVER AFTER HE HAD JUST FLOWN OVER A FIELD HE INTENDED TO SPRAY. HE SAID HE WAS TOTALLY CAUGHT OFF GUARD BY THE STALL EVENT. THE PILOT ALSO STATED THAT HE DID NOT ADD ENOUGH POWER DURING THE TURN AND THAT THE AIRPLANE WAS MUSHING AND SHAKING DURING THE TURN BECAUSE IT WAS BEHIND THE POWER CURVE.
Probable Cause: the pilot's inattentiveness during the reversal turn, the pilot not maintaining control of the airplane, and the stall/mush encountered by the pilot.
