With the soleon DisCo dispenser, our drones distribute Trichogramma spheres from the air for the biological control of the European corn borer.
Application from the air has major advantages: the tall plants are not damaged during the flight, and the treatment can be carried out efficiently within a short time window.
The drone simply flies over the plants, sparing the soil, the plants, the air and the farmer’s workload. Pest control with soleon DisCo is more economical, lower in emissions and gentler on the soil than conventional methods of corn borer control. Aerial application also offers many advantages on clayey and wet soils.

- Fully automatic applicationThe flight over the maize fields is programmed in advance. The drone follows the flight plan and releases the spheres at the pre-programmed waypoints.
- 3 swaths at onceWith the triple throwing system, only every third swath has to be flown (according to the application pattern of the manufacturer Biocare). This is fast, saves battery energy and is easy on the system.
- Good coverage of field edgesDisCo throws the spheres several metres ahead of and beside the drone. This also reaches field edges surrounded by trees or other obstacles, which are more heavily infested by the corn borer.
- Spheres up to 20 mmThe mechanism can be used for all spheres up to 20 mm in diameter.
For large areas: DisCo-mega
For larger areas there is the soleon DisCo-mega dispenser. Its large container holds up to 3,000 spheres. At 100 spheres per hectare, that is enough for 30 hectares.
DisCo-mega can be mounted on the LasCo V1 and on the UniCo.
DisCo can be attached to the drone quickly and easily using the soleon multiconnector quick-change device. On request, we can also adapt DisCo to your multicopter.
