Abstract
Aerial topdressing – the aerial application of fertilisers over farmland
using specialist agricultural aircraft – is an integral part of New Zealand’s
agricultural heritage. The procedure was born and developed there,
so it makes sense that New Zealand researchers are behind much of
its development. Dr Miles Grafton and Matthew Irwin from Massey
University on North Island, believe that increasing the efficacy of aerial
topdressing is possible by reducing the role of a currently crucial part of
the procedure: the pilot.
