“…Sarri et al 19 tested the spray application of a multirotor UAV in a highslope terraced vineyard and found that the working capacity of the UAV was twice that of a sprayer gun and 1.6-fold that of a knapsack sprayer. Zhang et al 20 reported the rate of dead larvae counts for UAV spraying on sugarcane to control stem borer (Lepidoptera) was 40.0%, higher than that for a knapsack electric sprayer (30.0%), the spray efficiency also improved 14.37 times and the pesticide requirement was lowered by as much as 90.65%.…”

BACKGROUND Aerial spray is one of the most important applications of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in agriculture. This work aimed to promote the use of UAVs as an alternative to knapsack electric sprayers in pesticide application in Nanguo pear orchards planted in mountain terraced orchard scenarios. The spray deposition of four types of nozzles (SX110015, XR80015, IDK90015 and TR80015), two spray volume rates (45 and 90 L ha−1) and with or without a commercial surfactant adjuvant were evaluated based on the spot spray mode. RESULTS The air‐ assisted IDK90015 nozzle showed significantly higher deposition and penetration, and its large droplet size also reduced the risk of drift. Increasing the spray volume rate can increase the amount of droplets deposition. The adjuvant showed excellent potential to improve spray technology in Nanguo pear trees, with a mean deposition of 0.175–0.574 μL cm−2 and penetration of 3.09–66.73%. The droplet size also increased significantly, with volume median diameter (DV0.5) of 469 μm. CONCLUSION The nozzle type, spray volume rate and adjuvant should be well considered when using the spot spray in orchard. Compared with increasing spray volume rate, the use of air‐induction nozzles and surfactant‐based adjuvants can improve the spray deposition better. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

“…With the large-scale planting of high-yielding and high-sucrose varieties, sugarcane diseases and insect pests are increasingly common. Survey results show that the average yield loss rate of sugarcane harmed by cotton aphids and borers is 12%-16% and reaches 40%-60% in severe cases, and the sugar reduction rate can reach 0.93%-3.5% (Santos, 2019;Pan et al, 2009;Zhang et al, 2019).…”

“…They do support high-quality sensors (e.g., RGB [4,14,25,[31][32][33][34][35][36]39,40], multispectral [4,32,33,38], hyperspectral [30], Li-DAR [4,37], and thermal [32]) to capture the spatial-temporal variability of the field with pinpoint accuracy, flexibly and realistically (3D ortho-mosaic model). Hence, they can perform exceptional remote sensing and provide useful imagery data on canopy, enabling stakeholders to make early-stage decisions at the right time and place, whether for mapping, re-planting, fertilizing [40], or protection [41,42], more precisely than is possible with traditional approaches. UAVs with precision spraying technology can effectively control insects, while preventing the user from overspending resources and the environment from contamination/pollution.…”

Pilotless aircraft systems will reshape our critical thinking about agriculture. Furthermore, because they can drive a transformative precision and digital farming, we authoritatively review the contemporary academic literature on UAVs from every angle imaginable for remote sensing and on-field management, particularly for sugarcane. We focus our search on the period of 2016–2021 to refer to the broadest bibliometric collection, from the emergence of the term “UAV” in the typical literature on sugarcane to the latest year of complete publication. UAVs are capable of navigating throughout the field both autonomously and semi-autonomously at the control of an assistant operator. They prove useful to remotely capture the spatial-temporal variability with pinpoint accuracy. Thereby, they can enable the stakeholder to make early-stage decisions at the right time and place, whether for mapping, re-planting, or fertilizing areas producing feedstock for food and bioenergy. Most excitingly, they are flexible. Hence, we can strategically explore them to spray active ingredients and spread entomopathogenic bioagents (e.g., Cotesia flavipes and Thricrogramma spp.) onto the field wherever they need to be in order to suppress economically relevant pests (e.g., Diatraea saccharalis, Mahanarva fimbriolata, sugarcane mosaic virus, and weeds) more precisely and environmentally responsibly than what is possible with traditional approaches (without the need to heavily traffic and touch the object). Plainly, this means that insights into ramifications of our integrative review are timely. They will provide knowledge to progress the field’s prominence in operating flying machines to level up the cost-effectiveness of producing sugarcane towards solving the sector’s greatest challenges ahead, such as achieving food and energy security in order to thrive in an ever-challenging world.
