I saw an instagram post where a strawberry grower was applying beneficial mites to a strawberry field. The idea is that the good mites eat the bad mites.
I work for a large organic vegetable grower and we release some beneficial insects (green lacewing eggs) by hand. The larve eat aphid. The eggs are tiny and come in bags with rice hulls as a media. Really very little weight or volume to them. A one gallon jug would weigh less than a pound and cover 50acres.
I don't think I could modify my Mavic to deliver these good bugs. What should I consider? I guess the biggest question I have is how could I figure out a way to deliver these little guys? Some kind of hopper with a servo? Can anyone point me in the direction of someone that could answer my questions?
