Description
Luis Felipe Oliveira Ribeiro and ten co-authors published a forestry study in twenty twenty-five on spraying eucalyptus sprouts from a remotely piloted aircraft. Drone spraying is spreading in agriculture, but its quality in forestry was poorly documented. The team also measured how much spray reaches the workers doing the job.
They flew a DJI AGRAS T40 at three swath widths and three droplet sizes, comparing it with a manual backpack sprayer. Sensor cards placed in the sprout canopy measured droplet spread at upper, middle, and lower layers. Protective clothing captured exposure on the applicators. Narrower ranges with finer droplets distributed spray best through the canopy.
