The aim of this study was to determined effect different doses N: P: K applications on fruit yield and some quality traits in Anatolian chestnut Bursa (Turkey) ecological condition during 2013 2014. In the research, triple experimental zones were a 20-year-old orchard. Each these consisted 30 trees. As treatments, 1.1, 2.2, 3.3, 4.4 lb N tree-1 (N application zone; NAZ), 0.55, 1.65, 2.2 P (P PA...

Pesticide spraying using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has been utilized in many crops, including fruit tree because of its merits terms labor-saving and the low risk to operator. However, relevance chestnut, one commercially significant trees grown throughout Europe Asia, not studied. In this work, we assessed effectiveness UAV-based ultra-low-volume pesticide application chestnuts. We demon...
