Better Applications, Stronger Harvests: How Drones Are Transforming Crop Applications

What This Webinar Is About

Timing, precision, and cost — these are the pressures that define crop application decisions every season. Getting a foliar nutrition or crop protection program right requires knowing not just what to apply, but when and how to apply it with minimal waste and maximum effect.

This webinar explores exactly that intersection: how agricultural drone technology supports those decisions in the field, and how The Andersons’ agronomic programs integrate with aerial application workflows.

Topics will include:

• How modern drone platforms handle spraying and spreading for foliar nutrition, micronutrients, and crop protection
• Real-world aerial application workflows — from mission planning to field execution
• How application timing and precision affect ROI for growers and ag retailers
• Where drone technology fits within broader seasonal farm management strategies
• Live Q&A with the speakers

The Technology Behind the Talk

ABZ Innovation designs and manufactures heavy-duty agricultural drones built for demanding, real-world conditions. Our L-series spraying drones are equipped with Controlled Droplet Application (CDA) systems, RTK precision, and automated flow rate adjustment — enabling sub-centimeter coverage accuracy and up to 90% reduction in water use compared to conventional ground-based methods.

These platforms are operational in 30+ countries, across arable fields, orchards, vineyards, and high-value crops. They are designed not to replace good agronomy, but to make it more precise, more timely, and more accessible — regardless of field conditions or operator availability.

Meet the Speakers

Zsombor Vejtey

Head of Software Development Pilot Team  ·  ABZ Innovation

Zsombor leads ABZ Innovation’s software and pilot development team — and uniquely, he tests ABZ’s latest agri drone systems on his own fields. That combination of engineering depth and hands-on farming experience gives him a perspective on drone-based applications that goes beyond the technical. He speaks from the ground up.

Jeff Gider & Jessica Link

Agronomists  ·  The Andersons

Jessica Link and Jeff Gider work directly with growers and dealers across the agricultural supply chain. Their focus is practical: understanding what works in the field, what products and applications deliver the best return per acre, and how to share that knowledge clearly and usefully. They bring current agronomic thinking to every conversation.

Who Should Join

This session is designed for anyone involved in crop application decisions — whether you’re evaluating drone technology for the first time or looking to connect it more directly to your agronomic programs:

• Growers and farm operators considering or already using aerial application
• Agronomists and crop consultants building seasonal application programs
• Ag retailers and distributors looking to understand how drone platforms integrate with product lines
• Anyone interested in the practical economics of precision application
