In the past period, Nébih has received numerous reports that some service providers are advertising and recommending various drone plant protection services to producers on social media platforms. Among other things, for example, desiccation of rapeseed and sunflower, as well as fungicide and insecticidal treatments in field crops, as well as in grape and fruit orchards. In connection with this, we must point out that drone plant protection activities for own goods production and service purposes cannot be legally carried out in Hungary at the moment. At the same time, with a permit, it is possible to carry out experimental plant protection activities with a spraying drone. Due to the above, Nébih launched a supportive control campaign among domestic spraying drone plant protection service providers, with the aim of providing them with detailed information about the legal regulatory environment affecting them. Since the establishment of the office, it has been striving to support the spread of modern and at the same time safe plant protection technological and technical solutions in Hungary, as well as to promote the creation of a regulatory environment that ensures their legal application. Supporting controls also fit well into this target system.
