I would love to hear more of your opinion on why the drones may not be sufficient! I think it is possible that very early detection of larvae and precise usage of pesticides on flea beetles, could potentially help farmers.
You've just said it.
What "Pesticide" are you going to use when the "Pesticide" that works is BANNED. The banned pesticide is systemic - stays residual in the plant and therefore appears in the flowers nectar. Hence the risk to bees.
How are you going to detect "Larvae" from an electric drone - the way an parasitic wasp would do it is by electric bio signals, which will be overwhelmed by the electric fields from the motors.
I'd also point out that most plants will be infected with Lavae - if they weren't we would be still growing the crops as they would be viable.
There was never a need for "Precise" in the first place.
