Fighting Pine processionary proliferation

Innovative Treatment by drone from CDSI

Accelerating invasion of Pine Processionary (moth) in Europe is causing a challenge for public health. The urticating hairs of the caterpillars can be harmful for human and pets.

Centre Drone Système Industriel CDSI, INNOVIDEA’s Partner, has developped and homologated with INRA and Fredon a dedicated payload and procedure for targeted treatment on cocoons by drone.

Liquid is injected inside the cocoon hence more respectful of local environment and offering better efficiency than method based upon spraying or pulverisation.
