Detailed mission planning
For every field you enter in our portal, we plan the flight patterns and keep communication close, so you always know what happens when. Seamless documentation from enquiry to end-of-season report.
Trichogramma
Protection against the corn borer – from the air.
TB Copters specialises in biological crop protection for maize. Our multicopters apply Trichogramma capsules with precision: no tramlines, no soil compaction from the drone.
Eligible for funding in Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria and Rhineland-Palatinate.

Why TB Copters
Three reasons farmers call us.
Biological
No tramlines, no soil compaction from the drone
Trichogramma parasitic wasps instead of chemicals. No soil compaction from the drone. Trichogramma spare ladybirds and lacewing larvae; pyrethroids do not (LfL Bavaria).
Effective
Stable yields for the long term
One precisely timed application in early summer reduces corn borer infestation across the whole season, year after year.
Biological
Parasitic wasps instead of chemicals.
Trichogramma parasitise the eggs of the European corn borer before the larva can hatch and bore into the stalk. 100 capsules per hectare per application; the capsule shells break down in the field.
How an application works →
Precise
From the air instead of across the ground.
The multicopter flies the field in a planned pattern and places the capsules exactly where they belong, even on wet or hard-to-access land. No tramlines, no soil compaction from the drone, no crop damage.
