Spatial cultures


Explanation:
I'm awfully tempted to just "slave translate" it, since an explanation follows...this is obviously where what you need to protect is taller than the average human...culture is fine in reference to plant life...

well Charles that's a darn good point too, it's a bit out of my ballpark, but by using overhead you may be painting yourself into a corner...what about for example a banana tree, where leaves, branches, fruit, etc. are both above and below eye-level...or a cherry tree where the trunk is treated up to a certain level (my Czech father-in-law applies lime to tree trunks as a way of blocking passage of certain bugs)... but that's why I would use the generic "spatial", backed up by explanation. (btw, if this refers to trees, "plantation" also seems an acceptable alternative to culture)

I don't like it much either actually, maybe "area", like "area cleaning"...

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks Scott - so you reckon "spatial" works....? I was wondering if it was a typically confusing Czech way of saying overhead....

Asker: Maybe I can call them aerial cultures or something - I just don't like spatial much....

areal plants or cultures


Explanation:
where "prostor"/priestor (plošná miera) = area or territory, surface, field
XY x XY = plocha= priestor

and where "kultura"/ plodina = crop, culture, plantation, plant(s)
perhaps as "area bombing" = prostorove bombardovani
area spraying = priestorove postrekovanie

orchars and vineyards


Explanation:
"prostorové kultury" is common expression for orchards and vineyards,
(maybe even plantations as Charles mentioned, desciption of his father-in-law activities in the garden is OK)

agree  Hannah Geiger (X): I had an original answer which I hid, 'fruit bearing plants and trees' so I am happy to see it back, although some of the landscape plants also bear fruits..... .www.agrokrom.cz/texty/.../RAMCOVA_METODIKA_PESTOVANI_OZ_ REPKY_996.pdf
