In-Person Student Competition
Small and large uncrewed aerial systems (sUAS and UAS, respectively), also referred to as uncrewed aerial vehicles (or UAVs), have been used for agricultural purposes as technology advances for remote sensing and observing. Needed is an evaluation and expansion of sUAS in agriculture. Treating crops and crop pests with sUAS (UAS weighing less than 24.95 kg (55 lb)) is one way to maximize the use of sUAS in agriculture. This paper will address the efficacy of sUAS insecticide efficacy to control common crop pests of the midsouth region. sUAS application will be compared to self-propelled spray equipment in a variety of crops commonly grown in the midsouth region.
