Seminar Description:
Spray drones are creating new application options for golf courses, commercial landscapes, ornamental production, and habitat management—particularly in areas that are difficult, hazardous, or inefficient to treat with conventional equipment.
This seminar will examine current applications, equipment capabilities, site considerations, coverage and drift management, and the practical benefits and limitations of the technology. Attendees will also receive a high-level overview of the regulatory requirements and key considerations when evaluating whether drone application is appropriate for their operation.
Learning Objectives:
1) Identify current applications and potential benefits of spray drone technology for golf courses, commercial landscapes, ornamental production, and habitat management.
2) Evaluate equipment capabilities, site considerations, coverage, drift management, and the practical limitations of using spray drones compared with conventional application methods.
3) Understand key regulatory requirements and considerations for determining when drone application may be an appropriate option for their operation.
