Drone IPM on wheat

This was a quick last minute call, had to be done, the sprayer that hooks up to the tracktor just stopped working bla bla bla

...long story short, a moerse drone was used to spray about 4ha of wheat. this was more of a selective herbicide to kill the canola in between. the chemical consultant worked out a recipe, we got all the products from PW Lanboudienste, the drone guy owns the thing himself and does up to 30ha on a day if things run smoothe so this was small job for him.

the runs on batteries, it lifts up to 65kg, the tank for whatever you're spraying takes 30L.

Here you can just about make out the mist it makes.

the spot below it that looks like it's being pressed down is the spot being treated. takes longer for the computer to map the spray area than for it to actually spray the area.
