The latest use for these small unmanned aircraft is to destroy insect pests that damage not only crops and agriculture, as is the case with worms, but also the physical state of people depending on the species of insect. The use of these small ships allows to detect these pests and control them.

A versatile technology

Have been carried out studies on different cases in which the use of this technology advances in this environment as well as its ability to control these situations has been illustrated. For example, locations will be found where specimens of stagnant water will be taken for the baby mosquitoes, which will allow optimizing the accuracy where to apply anti-insects to the places where these mosquitoes and their babies are.

A drone will also apply pesticide from the air that will cause the larvae that are in the trees that give blueberries stop mating and thus paralyze the growth of these species. It is also planned to release certain harmful species so that they destroy the species that attack the corn crops.

Another function in addition to applying pesticides or releasing other species of insects will be to capture Aereal images of the highest parts of the trees and pay attention to the chrysalis that are in the upper part of these plants in order to prevent their leaves from falling as time goes by.

A good future ahead

It is expected that in the future this technology can continue to be used in even more aspects, for example, evaluation of possible damages that different species attacked by insects have, managing to place machines that kill these species or radar systems that help locate insects that are difficult to find.

The good thing about the use of this technology is that over time more experiments with these small aircraft will continue to be explored, increased and tested that will allow this technology to be optimized to control insects. It is also expected that systems of Artificial intelligence.

Although the use of drones is only the beginning, new ones are expected to be developed systems and mechanisms that take advantage of technology to direct and monitor insect pests.
