Project Title

Implementation of spry drones in steep slope viticulture

Project description

The EIP project includes the introduction of an unmanned aerial vehicle (spray drone) in the viticultural practice for the application of pesticides in vineyards with high slope and high manual effort. The spry drone DLI Agras MG-1s should fly automatically over a pre-planned route under the supervision of the user during the entire vegetation period. The technology should be optimized in terms of application rate and area performance. The targeted application of pesticides in these kind of vineyards is intended  to reduce the pesticide drift into the environment. The detection of the disease impact via multispectral sensors during the overflight should simultaneously enable a differentiated and infestation-oriented application (precision farming) of pesticides. In the project, inexperienced persons are instructed to carry out the application of pesticides by spry drones in vineyards with high slope. The lessons learned from instruction, flight training and the maintenance of the spray drones are incorporated into a training and drone maintenance program for future users.
