When applying plant micronutrients or pesticides through power sprayers, usually use high-volume spray with recommended EC concentration (Assuming 5gm AI per litre of water) for a specified area & volume. To replace the spraying with a drone having a volume of 10 Litres, what should be the concentration of micronutrients/pesticides whether it will be the same as recommended (i.e. 5 g/L) or higher/lower than the recommended concentration?
1. Adjust the amount of micronutrients/pesticide used for drone spraying to account for the difference in coverage area. Drone spraying generally covers a smaller area than manual spraying, so you will need to use a higher concentration of micronutrients/pesticide for drone spraying to ensure proper coverage.
2. Consider adjusting the application rate depending on the type of crop being sprayed. Different crops have different requirements for micronutrients/pesticides, and drone spraying may require a different rate of application than manual spraying.
3. Adjust the nozzle size for the drone to ensure a more even distribution of the micronutrients/pesticide. A smaller nozzle size will help reduce drift and ensure more precise coverage.
4. Utilize GPS mapping to help determine the most efficient and effective application of the micronutrients/pesticide. This will help reduce the amount of waste and ensure that the micronutrients/pesticide are being applied in the most efficient manner possible.
5. Regularly monitor the application of the micronutrients/pesticide to ensure that the correct concentration is being used. This will help to ensure that the micronutrients/pesticide are being applied in the correct amounts and that the correct coverage is being achieved.
