Why TB Copters

Three reasons farmers call us.

Professional

Detailed mission planning

We map every field, plan the flight patterns and keep communication close — you always know what happens when. Seamless documentation from enquiry to end-of-season report.

Biological

Gentle on plant and soil

Trichogramma parasitic wasps instead of chemicals. No soil compaction, no residues, no restrictions on following crops.

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. Two capsules per application, fully biodegradable — no residues in the crop, no restrictions for the following crop.

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, no crop damage.
