UAV-IQ offers drone-based aerial biocontrol
UAV-IQ is now offering aerial biocontrol, a new integrated pest management (IPM) service that uses drones to release beneficial biological control agents bred by Koppert Biological Systems.
Drone-based aerial biocontrol is to offer a new way for conventional and organic growers to combat pests, reduce the environmental impact of pesticide usage, and address a growing labor crunch.
“We‘re extremely excited to team up with the premier company in biocontrol to help address the pest management needs of growers” says Andreas Neuman, CEO at UAV-IQ.

Features and benefits of drone-based aerial biocontrol include:
- Kill pests even when they‘re hiding where chemicals can’t reach
- More efficient distribution than traditional application techniques
- Meaningfully reduce use of chemical pesticides
