Dropcopter coordinates with the grower before bloom to generate automated flight paths over specific rows of crops. Upon bloom, Dropcopter flies the aircraft up to 10 feet above the trees dispensing an agreed application rate of dry pollen exactly where it needs to be. he timing of when crops produce pollen and when they are receptive to pollen can differ within and between individuals. Orchards are typically planted to have intentional overlap in pollenizer varieties (produce abundant pollen) and varieties that are usually higher value and don't produce as much pollen. Crop varieties phenology that may have been in sync 30 years ago maybe increasingly out of sync, thus there are asynchronies in available pollen compared to the period of time when a flower is receptive to pollen.
