Abstract
The inventive subject matter provides a method for the incorporation of colored photoluminescent materials to be sprayed on to plants and soils. The incorporation of colored photoluminescent materials assists the spray operator through the use of black lights allowing for more precise low light or nighttime spray and seeding operations. More specifically, this invention relates to a colored photoluminescent adjuvant to be applied to targeted crops, plants and seeds to assist in the low light or nighttime application of bioactive agents, such as chemicals and pesticides. The colored photoluminescent adjuvant can be applied as a solution or a foam.
Claims6
A method to map the placement of an active agent within an area comprising the steps of:
- applying a first colored photoluminescent adjuvant containing a first active agent to a target selected from the group consisting of:
- crops, plants and soil;
- and
- employing an unmanned aerial vehicle with a photoluminescence detector to map the placement of the first active agent within the area by detecting the location of the first colored photoluminescent adjuvant within the area.
