About grapes / vineyards

Vineyards cover approximately 1.2 million acres in California, Washington, New York, and Oregon. Drone spraying handles steep hillside applications where tractors struggle, delivering 8–12 fungicide passes per season for powdery mildew, downy mildew, and botrytis control. Rotor downwash penetrates the canopy and covers both leaf surfaces. Per-acre rates are higher than row crops due to complex terrain and required carrier volumes.
