Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Pesticide Applications - What You Need to Know
There is a good deal of interest in using drones, also called unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for the application of pesticides. If you are an applicator considering using a drone for applications, here is some basic information regarding licenses that you need to know before applying any pesticides.
Using drone technology in agriculture - Sept. 10 in Garnett, KS
All are invited to attend a field day hosted by K-State Research and Extension Frontier District featuring the use of drone technology in agriculture. The event will start at 10:00 AM on September 10 at the Garnett Community Building in Garnett, KS.
Using drones for early season field scouting
The advancement of precision agriculture technology, such as drones, can provide an efficient solution for early-season field scouting. In contrast to traditional scouting, drone scouting can be less time-consuming, have more thorough field coverage, and be less labor intensive.
Integrating spray drones into herbicide applications
Managing herbicide-resistant weeds and hard-to-reach areas like ditches and field edges remains a major challenge. Spray drone technology is quickly gaining ground as a flexible and efficient solution, especially when conditions make traditional equipment less practical.
Unmanned aerial vehicle pesticide applications - What you need to know
Drones are becoming an increasingly attractive option for applying pesticides, especially in hard-to-reach areas or for targeted spot treatments. But before taking off, applicators must understand the regulatory and operational requirements involved. Make sure you're in compliance with federal, state, and product-specific requirements.
