About corn
Corn is the largest crop in the United States at over 90 million acres, and fungicide application at the VT/R1 (tassel) stage is the number one use case for drone spraying in America. Drones are the only practical option once corn exceeds 6–8 feet because ground rigs cannot clear the canopy. University research from Beck's Hybrids shows drone-applied fungicide at 2–3 gpa matches ground rig results at 15–20 gpa, with no yield loss from trampling.
