Trichogramma spreading system for ABZ Innovation L10 PRO agricultural spraying drone and ABZ Innovation M12 multifunctional drone
Spreading Trichogramma from a drone
Trichogramma is a hymenopterous insect from the crinoid family used to control pest populations in crops. Traditionally, Trichogramma insects were released by hand, which was quite time-consuming and labor-intensive. With the development of revolutionary drone technology, ABZ Innovation has integrated the method into precision agriculture in the most efficient way, developing a Trichogramma spreading system from an L10 drone, helping to reduce farmers' workload while focusing on sustainability and profitability. Drones can cover large areas in a short period of time, reducing the labor required for manual release. They can also reach remote areas and rough terrain that can be difficult for workers to access. Equipped with GPS and mapping technology, the drones can precisely target specific areas, increasing the accuracy of Trichogramma release and reducing the risk of over- or under-application. Spreading Trichogramma with drones eliminates the need for human labor near crops, reducing the risk of exposure to pesticides and other chemicals.
The precise and effective Trichogramma (or parasitic wasp) spreading system utilizes one of the most widely used biological control methods. Its 8-liter tank can hold up to 800-1200 pellets – depending on pellet size. This allows up to 8-12 hectares to be treated in one take-off, amounting to an hourly performance of up to 36 hectares.
The Trichogramma spreading system is available for the ABZ Innovation L10 PRO and M12 models.

This versatile dispensing system is only available for the L10 PRO and M12 models, making these convertible to spray or spread Trichogramma very easily, within minutes. The standard L10 is not equipped to receive the dispenser system.
