DROPLET DISTRIBUTION AND CONTROL AGAINST CITRUS LEAFMINER WITH UAV SPRAYING

Abstract

To explore the applicability of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)in the citrus orchard, this study was initiated to evaluate thedroplet distribution by the UAV spraying, the difference of controleffect against the citrus leafminer (Phyllocnistis citrella Stainton)(CLM) and the economic benefits between UAV spraying andmanual spraying under the condition of different citrus tree shapes.
