“Aust and NZ are the two world leaders in Biosecurity. But growing international trade increases the spread of pest and disease. We need to move ahead of time & ahead of the spreads as by 2025 likely to face 70% increase in Biosecurity challenges. “. Lyn O’Connell #BioSym2019

UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) on display at Commonwealth Bank AgQuip, including autonomous spray units with terrain following abilities. Notice the spray nozzles under the rotor and, it appears, you can land them on the moon! Barry Rogers from Bingara is keen to try them out.
