Precision Seed Application
Using drones for seeding offers a range of benefits
A major benefit of using drones for seeding cover crops is their ability to operate regardless of field conditions, allowing for optimal timing that significantly enhances growth performance. Seeding cover crops with a drone just before or right after a rain event ensures they get off to an excellent start.
The use of drones allows farmers to seed cover crops into standing corn and soybeans preharvest.
Precise seed placement reduces seed waste and promotes efficient resource utilization.
Adjustments to the seeding rate can be made, optimizing seed distribution according to soil and environmental conditions.
