Jane Bonds: Is a consultant with over 20 years experience as a pesticide application specialist in both crop protection and public health entomology. Her area of specialization is aerial pesticide application for both manned and unmanned vehicles.
The application of vector control products is a crucial component of integrated vector management, a technique we are constantly refining. In pesticide application Unmanned Aerial Spray Systems (UASS) could fill in the gap between manned aircraft and ground equipment…
Recent research has focused on the use of Uncrewed Aerial Spray Systems for their potential to fill the gap between manned aircraft and ground application, compromising between the two methods being able to be used over larger areas than ground equipment at reduced cost and complexity than manned a…
This presentation specifies the best management practices for optimal performance of unmanned aerial spraying systems (UASS) mounted on unmanned aircraft systems (UAS)…
The ecological and environmental exposure (EEE) subgroup of the Unmanned Aerial Pesticide Application System Task Force (UAPASTF) aims to update the information on off target movement (OTM) with unmanned aerial spray systems (UASS)…
This study evaluates the spray deposition of Unmanned Aerial Spray Systems (UASS) for mosquito larviciding, with findings that are broadly applicable to most agricultural spray applications…
The Unmanned Aerial Pesticide Application System Task Force (UAPASTF) was formed to generate data for submission to pesticide regulatory authorities to inform estimates for off target movement (OTM), potential operator/handler exposure, and crop residue contribution to human dietary exposure in ris…
The Deployed War Fighter Protection Programs is a DOD-sponsored research program administered by the Armed Forces Pest Management Board. It is tasked with the development and testing of management tools for pest and vector species that transmit diseases to the deployed war-fighters…
