Understand the sentiment. But applying it selectively seems to be desirable, no matter how euphemistic the low-toxicity part is.

  The article said nothing about selective dispersal. For all we know these drones are just fancy crop dusters.

    From what I can read of the press release, they are claiming a reduction of 30% in the amount of pesticide used. So, a significant incremental improvement, but certainly not something truly smart like using a camera to identify individual pests and targeting those pests with directed blasts of insecticide. Still a few years from that version of this tech.
