Just curious, is anyone actually using a T-series drone to spray orchards? If so... where, what, which drone, and how have your outcomes been so far?
I'll start... I am in Crete, Greece and so far I’ve been predominantly spraying olives & chestnuts using a T-50. In olives we use bait traps to determine pest concentration; so the results are readily accessible. Using 1/9th the water, at 20 days from spray, the results are similar to that of a tractor sprayer. In chestnuts, while we are still waiting for this years crop to fall, with respect time and chemical costs, the outcomes have been exceptional.
Happy spraying.
Video: young olives (~7yrs old) spaced at 8m X 8m @ 200 liters per hectare or 1 liter per tree.
