Dear All,
CropLife International Webinar Invitation: Best Practices and Innovations in Drone-Based Crop Protection
CropLife International is hosting a webinar in partnership with members of the Unmanned Aerial Pesticide Application System Task Force (UAPASTF) to help amplify their new report on Best Management Practices for Safe and Effective Application of Pesticides Using Unmanned Aerial Spray Systems
Join us for an in-depth exploration of how stewardship supports drones to transform crop protection and pest management. As a groundbreaking technology, drones offer substantial benefits, from enhancing precision in pest control to reducing risks in pesticide application.
