Abstract
Objective: To carry out ecological and hygienic
assessment and regulation of innovative technology of
pesticide application using unmanned aerial vehicles.
Methodology: To conduct field research using the
fungicide Amistar Extra 280 SC, we used an
unmanned aerial vehicle (drone) for spraying fields
Agras T16, DJI.
Results: The occupational risk with the use of UAVs
did not exceed the allowable (< 1). The formation of a
significantly higher combined occupational risk for the
UAV tank refueler (0.15 ± 0.004 at p < 0.05) is due to
contamination of the skin and the inhalation effect of
the pesticide.
Conclusion: The safety of the production
environment for workers at all technological stages of
work is reliably guaranteed when using the Amistar
Extra 280 SC formulation from the air with an
unmanned aerial vehicle in real conditions.
Keywords: Ecological and hygienic assessment,
pesticide application, aerial vehicles.
