Drone Sprayer Workshops

Author: Joshua Jackson

Planning Unit: Biosystems & Agr Engineering

Major Program: Grains

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

The problem: Traditional chemical applications are constrained by various factors, including field size and shape, soil conditions and moisture levels, the presence of waterways, power lines, and trees.

The educational program response: In collaboration with agents from Christian and Shelby counties and researchers from KSU, workshops focusing on sprayer drones were conducted. These sessions were specifically designed for producers and service providers interested in incorporating drone sprayers into their operations. Participants explored critical aspects of drone spraying, such as economic considerations, nozzle selection, federal and state regulations, and optimal spray rates. 

The participants/target audience: farmers interested in drones


Other partners (if applicable) Industry partners were vital to demonstrating the latest updates to the current drone sprayer technology.


Program impact or participant response. Several producers have purchased drones for their operation or employed drones services on their farming operations.
