What is drone fertilizer application?
Drone fertilizer application spreads granular products like urea or applies liquid foliar nutrients from the air, so producers can top-dress standing crops or wet fields without wheel tracks. Variable-rate prescriptions from our mapping data can put more product where the crop needs it.
