1. Assessing Metering and Spreading Performance of Drones (UAVs) for Application of Dry MaterialsAlong with pesticide applications, the use of UAVs (also commonly referred to as drones) for applying dry materials has increased rapidly in the United States. Currently, various types of product metering and spreading systems are available on commercial drones for applying dry materials. However, limited information is available on their application performance, especially the metering accuracy and the uniformity of distribution across the swath. Therefore, research studies were conducted to... S. Virk, E. Ward, J. Sizemore |
2. Spreading Performance of a UAV for Cover Crop (Cereal Rye) Seeding at Varying Application Rates and Flight SpeedsWith the increased use of UAVs for pesticide applications in agriculture, there is growing interest in their use for applying dry solid materials, especially for seeding cover crops. However, limited information currently exists on the application performance of UAVs for broadcasting cover crop seed and the effects of different operational parameters. Therefore, studies were conducted to assess the spreading performance of a DJI Agras T25 UAV under varying application rates (22.4, 33.6, 44.8,... S. Virk, J. Sizemore |
