THE PLT ATTEMPTED TO TAKE OFF WITH 300 GAL OF FUNGICIDE ON BOARD. HE SAID THAT THE RECENTLY RESURFACED DIRT RWY HAD NOT YET BEEN COMPACTED & THIS INCREASED THE ROLLING FRICTION WHICH DID NOT ALLOW THE ACFT TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY. THE PLT WAS UNABLE TO GET THE ACFT TO LIFT OFF. SUBSEQUENTLY, IT CONTINUED OFF THE END OF THE RWY, STRUCK A DITCH & WAS DAMAGED.
