Night Ag Operations, what's the deal?

I just followed a link from another post where I watched this crop dusting video and wanted to know what circumstances would require night ag ops. Are there chemicals that need to be applied in the dark? Is it to get more done in a shorter span of time? What are the statistics on mishaps compared to daytime ag ops? Can it be done just about anywhere or do you say "no way" next to power lines et al? What are some of the interesting considerations? Do people really need to do it or do they really just do it because they can (come on now, be honest).

Thanks in advance,

FRQ CB
