Analysis
Drg a spraying opn, the plt returned to land on an asphalt hiway & reload with chemicals. As he flared to lnd, the eng accelerated to aprx '2/3 throttle' with no throttle movement. He believed the throttle was in the off psn when this occurred. A nose hi attitude developed, so he advanced the throttle to stabilize the acft, but the eng completely lost power. There was a x-wind & the acft drifted to the left of the roadway. The plt then atmtd to lnd in a bean field, but the acft hit a fence & terrain & was dmgd. Drg a post-crash exam, no fuel was found in the fuel tanks & no evidence of fuel leakage was found.
