Skyinnov designs and commercializes trichogramma spreaders for drone, in order to fight naturally against a corn pest, the corn borer.
After several seasons of criss-crossing agricultural fields with drones, dropping trichogramma beads over corn fields, testing and proving the equipment under all weather conditions, Skyinnov teams decided to develop their own dropping system. Thus, the T-DROP system was born from the experience in the field, to develop a system able to meet the challenges of farmers, agricultural cooperatives and UAV pilots, with great flexibility and excellent technical capabilities.
Skyinnov has developed for several years, a solid expertise in the design of drone equipment for professional use. Skyinnov designs electronic identification beacons compatible with the main UAVs on the market as well as an electronic signal detection system. The development of the T-DROP benefits from the experience gained in the design of reliable electronic systems and the design of high-precision parts to meet the requirements of remote pilots.
The T-DROP can carry two compatible tank sizes of 5 or 8 liters of beads depending on the capacity of the drone.
The T-DROP offers a high output of up to 3 beads per second, allowing for large area coverage.
The on-board electronics provide valuable information to the remote pilot, including release points, the total number of capsules actually released, facilitating reporting.
The T-BOX is a complementary accessory that attaches to our trichogramme spreader. Equipped with a remote control, it allows an autonomous use of the spreader. Indeed, the spreading system being dissociated from the drone, you can install it on any drone capable of carrying it, including DJI drones, or any other agricultural machine.






The spreader requires at least a 5v power supply and an available output to control the release. You will also be able to control the arming system with an additional output, and an input for feedback. If your drone does not offer such outputs, you can use our T-Box system which will make your spreader completely autonomous and compatible with all drones on the market capable of carrying it, including DJI, YUNEEC... Your drone must have the capacity and size to carry the trichogramma spreaders. See the manual for more details.
The T-DROP tank is equipped with multiple mounting points for easy installation (mounting plan provided). After the physical installation, the T-DROP power supply (5v) and the various control cables must be connected. Finally, you will have to configure the control parameters on your drone. See installation instructions.
Skyinnov can provide installation assistance on a case-by-case basis. You can contact us before purchasing if you need more information.
Our system accepts starch and cellulose Trichogramma beads up to 25 mm in diameter (e.g. AMW, bioline, etc.).
The T-DROP is equipped with two interchangeable and compatible tanks, one of 5 liters and the other of 8 liters.
See the correspondence table to see the surface covered by type of logs.
The T-DROP is equipped with a digital display with 2 different counters: number of balls requested and number of balls actually dropped. The correspondence between the 2 counters allow to control that the balls were effectively released or not (empty tank...). The T-DROP is also equipped with LEDs for easy remote visual control. (the LED lights up at each bead release).
If you have chosen to connect the feedback system, you will be able to retrieve release information directly from your ground station.
When the logs are no longer passing through the spreader, the LEDs remain permanently lit to inform you. (empty spreader, blockage...).
If you use feedback, you'll also see it directly on your ground station.
The whole system has been designed to allow flights in the rain, provided that your drone is also able to do so. The T-DROP allows you to maintain your flight program despite difficult weather conditions.
The T-DROP system has been designed to be easily repairable. All parts are easily replaceable and available for after-sales service, upon request by email to contact@skyinnov.fr.
The T-DROP is designed, programmed and assembled by hand in Skyinnov's workshops in France. Each model is tested before shipping.
