Come and learn more about the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV’s or Drones), where they excel and some of the spin – off technologies facilitating their use. This half day workshop will investigate the practical and scientific aspects of drone usage in vineyards, showing where drones are finding their niche in the vineyard landscape. An infield demonstration will be undertaken to show the possibilities available now and to help explain what the technology can offer.
