Characteristics of unmanned aerial spraying systems and related spray drift: A review. [PDF]
Front Plant Sci, 2022 Although drift is not a new issue, it deserves further attention for Unmanned Aerial Spraying Systems (UASS). The use of UASS as a spraying tool for Plant Protection Products is currently explored and applied worldwide. They boast different benefits such as reduced applicator exposure, high operating efficiency and are unconcerned by field-related ...
