Maximizing Crop Defense: SweetWater Technologies Introduces DRONEZONE RECHARGED

41

SweetWater Technologies is revolutionizing crop protection with the launch of DRONEZONE RECHARGED, a powerful new plant growth regulator (PGR) designed to enhance stress resistance and optimize yields. Registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), this innovative input offers up to 30 days of natural defense against abiotic stress—double the duration of traditional solutions. When incorporated into SweetWater Technologies’ two-pass drone application program, growers can extend protection to an impressive 60 days, improving operational efficiency and maximizing return on investment (ROI).

Advanced Defense for Crops

DRONEZONE RECHARGED is engineered to strengthen abiotic stress resistance across various crops, setting a new standard for drone-applied agricultural inputs. By stimulating a plant’s natural defense mechanisms during critical vegetative growth stages, this next-generation solution supports healthy crop development and enhances overall resilience.

With DRONEZONE RECHARGED, farmers gain a crucial layer of defense to safeguard their yield investments during the later growth stages, said Chad Gripp, owner of SweetWater Technologies. While offense plays a role, defense is what truly secures long-term success. DRONEZONE RECHARGED helps farmers win the growing season by protecting crops from costly stressors that threaten productivity.

Innovative Formula for Stronger Crops

At the core of DRONEZONE RECHARGED is salicylic acid, which activates a plant’s systemic acquired resistance (SAR), reinforcing its ability to combat various pathogens. Additionally, systemic compounds within the formulation promote vigorous growth from the inside out. When applied via drone as part of SweetWater Technologies’ ultra-low volume program, this product ensures optimal efficiency while delivering measurable benefits.

By boosting a plant’s natural ability to endure stress from weather and environmental pressures, we empower growers to achieve more consistent results, even in challenging conditions, Gripp added. As a fifth-generation Illinois farmer with over two decades in custom application, I believe DRONEZONE RECHARGED has the potential to enhance millions of acres across the U.S., helping farmers protect their investments and achieve superior yield and quality year after year.
