Subject: RE: Drone-Applied Fungicide on Corn at Pre-Tasseling Stage: Is it Worth the ROI?


Good day to you Ron. No doubt, your opinions are based on your personal observations and I respect those experiences.

Likewise my opinions are based on my personal observations and first hand experiences. I am absolutely certain that the “u turns” you are seeing indicated in the pictures are from fungicide applications by drones spraying while they execute an end of pass directional reversal and advancement to the next swath. This practice is extremely common in the drone world.

If you have birds eye view pictures over your drone applications and results that you’d like to share, I would encourage you to do so on this site. Always eager to learn.

When I get time I will dedicate an entire post to you and this issue, featuring only “u turn” photos from across the Midwest. I am NOT misleading by what I’m saying. Why you feel this way is beyond me. Cheers.

1. u-turns are not common in "this part of the world" by most any applicators. Not planes, helicopters, drones, ground applicators, or fertilizer spreaders. Do the borders first, then turn on what you sprayed while not spraying.

2. I'm not suggesting, I'm saying you're misleading by saying they are from turning while applying.

3. Again, if you claim to be a drone person, I have no idea in the world why you'd present such results claiming they are resulting from drones. Apparently you think you're talking to 2nd graders.

Why didn't you present the pictures from the fields we had drone applied last year? They would certainly not look like anything you posted. Keeping in mind that 90% of our application is by ground sprayer.
