Another productive week of drone testing to wrap up 2025. We collected a lot of data this week to evaluate various metering & spreading systems across different drones & understand their application performance for seeding cover crops @AuburnAg @AU_PrecisionAg #dronetesting

It was a good week for one of our most extensive drone drift studies. Three full days of field testing with 70+ samplers, 0.5 m sampling resolution & 10 replications per treatment. Great team work. Looking forward to similar evaluations with other drones, parameters & products!!

The two spotted leafhopper (Jassid) is occurring at economic levels in some fields in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and Alabama. This pest has the potential to be the greatest economic problem since the boll weevil. Many questions remain, only time will tell.
