About orchards

Orchards cover more than 5 million acres in Washington, California, Michigan, and New York. Apple, cherry, peach, almond, and walnut operations benefit from drone applications for fire blight, powdery mildew, and codling moth control. Washington State surveys show 95% of apple growers are interested in drone spraying. Drones reach between-row positions in dense plantings and hillside blocks inaccessible to conventional airblast sprayers.
