1. Development of a Drone-mounted Device for Aerial Application of Mating Disruption Agents in Agriculture

In recent years, drones have been increasingly adopted to reduce workforce and improve the efficiency of pest control in agriculture. However, most drones are optimized for spraying low-viscosity liquid pesticides and thus have limitations in stably applying high-viscosity liquid or solid formulations. In particular, the mating disruption agent (MDA) used in this study, which contains pheromones, must be attached to the crown to maximize pheromone diffusion. It is necessary to develop a technology... S. Song
