Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) are considered well suited to apply liquid bait treatments in bush and tree crops, aimed at attracting and killing the target pest, because they do not need canopy penetration and low volume rates are used. In this work, liquid bait treatments with UAV and the reference terrestrial equipment were compared in terms of canopy spray distribution, ground losses, and efficacy against Ceratitis capitata in citrus. Prior to applications, UAV settings were defined to get the large droplets required for these treatments. The results showed that the UAV was a sustainable and effective alternative technique for this application, with even higher efficacy than the terrestrial reference.
