Claim 10:
11. A method to biologically control agricultural pests, the method comprising the steps of:
containing biological organisms or materials within a container comprising a cylindrical drum defined by a circular base with a central axis, the drum having an inner cavity and an outer wall, the container having a receiving opening through which the biological organisms or materials are introduced into the container, wherein the outer wall includes a plurality of openings sized such that the biological organisms or materials in the inner cavity pass therethrough;
applying a covering comprising one or more apertures to a corresponding outer wall opening so that the one or more apertures adjust the available space for the biological organisms or materials to pass through the openings, so that the beneficial organisms or materials pass through the openings only when the container rotates;
coupling a removable cap to the receiving opening of the container to seal the receiving opening, the removable cap comprising a surface oriented towards the outside of the container, the removable cap comprising a motor coupler positioned on the surface oriented towards the outside of the container;
coupling the container to an autonomous airborne apparatus;
coupling the motor coupler to a motor;
rotating the motor coupler using the motor, wherein the rotation of the container generates a force urging the biological organisms or materials to a plurality of openings; and
spreading the biological organisms or materials by way of said force over a target location to be treated by dispensing said biological organisms or material through the plurality of openings when the container rotates, wherein the openings are disposed on the outer wall and sized such that the biological organisms or materials in the inner cavity are able to pass therethrough.
