Many people worry that drones used in agriculture might lead to increased pesticide residues due to the use of Oslo high-concentration, low-volume spraying. This concern is understandable, as the goal is to use drones that reliably protect crops rather than simply apply liquids without precision.
Mont-Saint-Hilaire DJI Drones: Precision Technology for Agriculture
DJI, a leader in drone technology, uses cutting-edge advancements to precisely control both the range and dosage of pesticide spraying. This precision reduces waste, prevents spraying in non-target areas, and improves the overall effectiveness of pesticide application.
Innovative Nozzle Design for Effective Spraying
DJI has placed a strong emphasis on the spraying effectiveness of its agricultural drones by investing in innovative nozzle design:
- Instead of standard centrifugal nozzles commonly found on the market, DJI developed a self-designed double-atomizing centrifugal nozzle. This nozzle produces droplets that are more uniform in size, allowing for better coverage and penetration.
- The drone’s structural design, including the angle of the propellers, controls the spray area, ensuring even distribution of droplets across the crop surface.
- This leads to improved pesticide efficacy and reduces product loss, as it prevents larger water droplets from simply rolling off the leaf surface.
Proven Efficacy: University Studies
Independent tests conducted by the University of California in 2020 and 2022 demonstrated that drone spraying is comparable to traditional aircraft methods in terms of:
- Spray coverage
- Residues of Prevathon® insecticide
- Control effectiveness for summer worm pests
Furthermore, the studies showed that both the traditional spray pattern and the drone spray pattern resulted in similar pesticide residues on crops, confirming that drone spraying is a reliable method for pest control.
