Stevia First
planning to use drones for large-scale land-planting research. According
Stevia First
, the practice could help U.S. growers make stevia a more cost-effective crop.
First wants to
a vertically integrated stevia business in the United States.agricultural drones can be used to block
"
-ray cyclesand shine stevia plants overnight with red
LED
lights, promoting growth and plant flowering, thereby increasing leaf weight and stevia glycoside content.
Stevia First
said
hopes to double stevia glycoside production in a few weeks and increase stevia glycoside production by
5
a year. If laboratory results can be replicated and scaled up in California's Central Valley, U.S. stevia growers will be more productive than traditional planting models of growers in China's main zero-calorie, high-sweetened stevia-producing regions.

U.S. farmers have been able to adapt to and benefit from technological change very quickly.
Robert Brooke
added: "'s combination of drones and light cycle blocking for stevia cultivation is an innovative approach and it's great to be involved with local growers in the development and promotion of this cultivation."
