Low-Impact Delivery for Harvest Protection
Drone application solves the “last-mile” challenge of harvest protection, allowing for treatment without the physical impact of ground-based rigs. This Pilot Fact Sheet provides the ultimate technical specification for ASPN operators to apply Pod-Stik harvest sealant using the XAG platform. Inside, you’ll find field-tested data from our 2025 UK-first trials -including how the drone’s unique rotor downwash drives product deep into the lower canopy where pod shatter begins.
