About soybeans

Soybeans cover over 87 million acres in the U.S. Drone applications target white mold, frogeye leaf spot, and soybean aphids at the R2–R3 growth stage. Purdue University trials showed drone applications at 2 and 5 gallons per acre were equally effective as ground applications for frogeye leaf spot reduction. Drones eliminate the compaction and crop damage that costs 4–6% of yield from ground equipment.
