Taking drone-assisted pest management to new heights
Drone spraying is already spreading its wings and set to become a crucial tool in the increasingly data-driven and outcome-oriented practices of precision farming. For drone-assisted pest management to fully take off and overcome the challenges still holding it down, agrochemical applications have to be more precisely adjusted to its needs.
DropForward™
We have created DropForward: a focused approach to providing drone-specific adjuvants and formulations. We offer our customers Synergen® DRT: the first solution to come out of our DropForward »flight program.«
A quick overview of benefits
We present
- A leading-edge drift control agent and biological activator that boosts the performance of drone spraying
- A sustainable yet powerful adjuvant that enhances the application efficiency in a wide range of real-world settings
Superior drift control
Active ingredient penetration enhancer
Suitable for ultra low tank volumes
Synergen® DRT controls drift effectively
In our trials with 2,4-D on cotton, our adjuvant showed much better control of drift in low wind conditions.
With Synergen® DRT (low drift)
Without Synergen® DRT (critical drift)
