Resource description
This study explores the effectiveness of DGPS navigating integrated with spray monitoring systems to improve Desert Locust control. Time savings, measurable benefits, spot spraying compared to blanket treatment, and other factors are considered to provide a holistic evaluation of this locust control method.
