1. Deposition Characteristics of Different Style Spray Tips at Varying Speeds and Altitudes from an Unmanned Aerial SystemThe application of pesticides with a UAS has become a popular practice over the past few years within crop production. The ability to carry larger volumes of liquid i onboard, reduced costs, and simple operation has attributed to the increased popularity. Additionally, the increased number of fungicide applications in corn due to the tar spot disease has shown that the demand for aerial applications of all types has increased with UAS pesticide application technology providing the opportunity...

2. Performance of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles to Broadcast-interseed Cover Crops at Different Crop StagesDrones have become more affordable, making them a viable option to use for broadcast-interseeding cover crops within crops prior to harvest. This strategy has become popular in the USA over the past three years. However, limited information exists on spreading with drones and the in-field performance and setups to ensure uniform distribution. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess the distribution uniformity of broadcast- interseeded cover crops into cash crops prior to harvest.... J.P. Fulton, A. Thomas, S.A. Shearer, E.
