Spray Drones – Regulations and Operational Considerations
Until now, drones have been primarily used for crop monitoring – especially scouting – in agriculture. However, with recent advancements in aerial application technology and the weather challenges limiting timely pesticide applications with ground equipment, the use of drones for spraying pesticides is gaining significant interest in the United States. While spray drones offer several…Continue Reading Spray Drones – Regulations and Operational Considerations
Spray Considerations for Effective Pesticide Applications
Effective pesticide applications are needed to stay on top of weed, insect, and disease control throughout the growing season. Achieving both the desired spray coverage and efficacy while keeping off-target movement of pesticides to a minimum is a very challenging but an important task. Applications resulting in under- or over-application of pesticides, ineffective coverage, and/or…Continue Reading Spray Considerations for Effective Pesticide Applications
Precision Application Technology for In-Furrow Granular Pesticides
Application of in-furrow granular pesticides is a common practice at planting for pest, disease and nematode management in key row-crops including corn, peanuts and cotton grown in the southeastern US. In-furrow pesticides are important tools for growers to stay on top of pests, diseases and nematodes early in the season as the opportunity for their…Continue Reading Precision Application Technology for In-Furrow Granular Pesticides
