加拿大只批准一种无人驾驶飞机使用的杀虫剂;尽管美国批准并越来越多地使用农民,但其他杀虫剂仍然未获批准。 Canada approves only one drone-applied pesticide; others remain unapproved despite U.S. approval and growing farmer use.

在加拿大农民和杀虫剂公司要求联邦批准无人机杀虫剂应用五年后,只有一种产品——硫酸铜杀真菌杀菌剂Harvest Miracle获得批准。 Five years after Canadian farmers and pesticide companies requested federal approval for drone-based pesticide applications, only one product—Harvest Miracle, a copper sulphate fungicide—is approved. 害虫管理监管局和加拿大运输局正在监督这一过程, 由于独特的无人机旋转机风模式影响喷雾漂移, PMRA面临挑战. The Pest Management Regulatory Agency and Transport Canada are overseeing the process, with the PMRA facing challenges due to unique drone rotor wind patterns affecting spray drift. 虽然美国已批准使用, 加拿大作物生命组织(CropLife Canada)说加拿大落后。 While the U.S. has approved such use, CropLife Canada says Canada is lagging. 尽管没有得到正式批准,但据报告,一些农民使用无人驾驶飞机进行杀虫剂,有可能违反条例。 Despite no formal approval, some farmers are reportedly using drones for pesticides, potentially violating regulations. 新的许可证允许有限的视觉线外飞行,但农药申请没有特定类别,需要特殊许可证才能合法使用。 A new license allows limited beyond-visual-line-of-sight flights, but no specific category exists for pesticide application, requiring special permits for legal use. 无人机已经很常见于播种和施肥, Drones are already common for seeding and fertilizing, which don’t need PMRA approval.
