As we all know, compared with the advantages of plant protection drones that are easy to popularize under the conditions of wheat, rice and other field crops, the penetration rate of commercial crops in hilly and mountainous areas is very small. Some plant protection machines can only imitate tree canopies, but cannot accurately imitate terrain and autonomous obstacle avoidance. As a leading ...
On March 25th, EAVISION carried out an intelligent drone plant protection flight control test on crops on the slopes of the mountainous area, injecting scientific and technological energy into the spring ploughing. The technicians are debugging EAVISION's new plant protection drone, EA-30X. After setting the relevant parameters, they poured the potion mixed with plant protection pesticides into ...
SINGAPORE, December 14, 2021 -- Precision spraying has never been in higher demand, dwindling human resources and pushing for more sustainable practice. Overuse of pesticides has long plagued the industry, not just for cost but also for a more significant ecosystem impact. Avirtech introduces the world's first gimbal-based spraying for high precision, accurate up to a spray radius of 10 cm. ...
On October 30, 2020, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a final rule on the Agricultural Worker Protection Standard (WPS) regulation that revises the requirements on the pesticide application exclusion zone (AEZ), defined as an “area surrounding the point(s) of pesticide discharge from the application equipment that must generally be free of all persons during pesticide ...
CHAMPAIGN — With hot, rainy weather this spring, fungi have had an ideal environment to grow in. That's kept helicopter pilot Frank Pagel busy spraying fungicides on area farms. "We'll sit in these things 12, 14 hours a day, and it's exhausting," said Pagel, co-owner of Helicopter Services of Illinois in Fisher. "It's fun flying them ... but after the first hour of the season, I'm over ...
With the development of applied science, agricultural sprayers have become a key equipment in crop production. How to choose a suitable sprayer is a topical issue for growers. ...
Another week, another agri-tech development taking progress to the next level. From rice crops that can save farmers money and cut pollution to an innovative approach to a new fertiliser, here’s four articles that caught our eye. It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane, It’s a USDA Aerial Cover Crop Seeding Helicopter “For a few years now, the USDA has been administering an ...
Different management practices using pesticides affect the diversity, number and ecological traits of ground spiders in apple orchards, a new study finds. Because spiders are viewed as good indicators of the quality of an entire ecosystem, the results reveal that organic orchard management may be better for local management and landscape characteristics when compared to those with pesticide use. ...
Farmers are continually urged to store pesticides safely and securely in order to minimise their impact on the environment and to reduce leakage into water supplies and systems. A study by the Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust (GWCT), with support from Natural England, examined 40 year’s worth of data collected on farmland on the Susses Downs. Examining the effect of climate and ...
When pesticides are sprayed on agricultural fields, some of the droplets drift to surrounding areas on air currents. ...
Florida has nearly 70 million citrus trees on more than 531,500 acres. Now imagine trying to figure out what pesticide to spray on each of those trees to keep them safe from citrus greening. University of Florida researcher James Tansey says the answer is as close as your Android smartphone with a new app developed with ZedX, an information technologies company based in Pennsylvania. The free ...
Rantsi drives a Valtra T163 Direct tractor connected to an Amazone UX3200 trailed sprayer. The systems on the tractor and the sprayer work well together through an ISOBUS connector. On the fields the tractor is steered automatically by the AutoGuide steering assist system, while the section control opens and shuts the seven valve blocks on the 21-metre boom as ...
If honeybees are busy pollinating large, blooming croplands, farmers wanting to spray toxic pesticides will soon have to buzz off, the Environmental Protection Agency is proposing. A federal rule to be proposed Thursday would create temporary pesticide-free zones when certain plants are in bloom around bees that are trucked from farm to farm by professional beekeepers, which are the majority of ...
Original story at MIT News Drones are positioned to change people’s lives, with tech giants building unpiloted aerial vehicles to deliver packages to homes or provide Internet access across the globe. Using that idea as a jumping-off point, RaptorMaps, an MIT team designing drones that monitor crop health to boost yields, cast the winning pitch at last night’s MIT $100K ...
A joint report to the European Commission from the Academies of Science in the EU Member States concludes that there is rapidly increasing scientific evidence that neonicotinoids have a significant negative impact on the natural environment. Some of the organisms affected fulfil important functions in agricultural areas, for example, the wild pollinators and the predatory insects which can play ...
Steven A. Murray, 54, of Pelham, Alabama, and his company, Bio-Tech Management Inc., were sentenced today in federal court in Macon, Georgia, after pleading guilty to charges of conspiracy, unlawful use of pesticides, false statements and mail fraud in connection with the misapplication of pesticides in Georgia nursing homes, announced Acting Assistant Attorney General Sam Hirsch of the Justice ...
A new ASTM International standard, E2872, Guide for Determining Cross-Section Averaged Characteristics of a Spray Using Laser-Diffraction Instruments in a Wind Tunnel Apparatus, will be used to guide characterization of nozzles and atomizers using laser diffraction instruments. E2872 is primarily applicable to aerial agricultural spraying, aerial forest sprays and air-blast spraying. ...
Egypt is an important exporter of horticultural crops such as green beans, sweet pepper, tomatoes, strawberries and cucumbers. Markets are increasingly demanding concerning the residues of plant protection products (PPP’s). Import of horticultural products is regularly rejected because of high residue levels. To reduce this risk it is necessary that Egyptian growers apply less pesticides ...
