Philrice testing rice farm pest control via drones

MANILA, Philippines – The Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice) is using drone technology to spray herbicides and manage weeds in rice plantations. According to PhilRice, researchers discovered that drones can effectively control weeds in wet direct-seeded rice, which could transform weed management into a modern farming practice. “This is especially useful for large rice fields
