“Precision application, a practice especially useful for crop farmers and horticulturists, utilizes effective and efficient spray techniques to more selectively cover plants and fields. This allows farmers to provide only the needed pesticide or nutrient to each plant, reducing the total amount sprayed, and thus saving money and reducing environmental impacts.”

Precision crop spraying is the ability to accurately targetregions requiring spray, while minimizing the amount of activeagent sprayed.

Electrostatic atomization and dispersion (ESD) is a spraytechnology that, when integrated with UAVs (drones) or spraybooms, precisely delivers active agent to a targeted region atlow cost and high efficiency.

Precision crop spraying from UAVs may be the “holy grail” of allapplications for UAVs in agriculture.

ESD Precision Crop Spraying is the Future…
