will
demonstrate
drone based
spraying in
vineyards.
You will see
an actual demo
of an aerial
drone spraying
a vineyard
(note, water
will be
sprayed). You
will learn the
state of the
drone spraying
industry,
capabilities and
limitations of
drone
spraying, what
kinds of
vineyards
drones are
most suited to
spray, and
typical
spraying
costs. You
will also
learn how to
get started
with drone
spraying,
coverage rates,
and
application
rates that are
possible with
drones. </font><font
face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">A single aerial drone can optimally
spray up to a
40-acre
vineyard,
including
fungicides,
foliar
fertilizers
and
pesticides. <br>

this will give
us an

automation
using a
unique soil

In addition,
you will hear
about how
