Regardless of what crop you're growing, herbicide, pesticide and fungicide application are all obviously crucial to it's success. With the introduction of state of the art drone spraying technology, you now have the option to apply these chemicals aerially, at a greatly reduced cost compared to traditional methods. With our drone, product placement is proving to be superior, due to the ability to fly at lower altitudes, causing the rotor wash from the propellors to physically rustle the plants/leaves at the exact time that the chemical is being laid down. This results in the chemical contacting much more surface area than usual, with hidden leaves now also being treated, meaning a much more thorough application.
It's no secret to anyone in the agricultural industry that heavy machinery driving on crop, pasture or bare soil is greatly detrimental to productivity. Plants can be snapped, growth stunted, or even just killed off completely. Soil is compacted by the tyres, causing inferior growing conditions and promoting weed growth. With our drone, this is all a thing of the past. Once the paddock is cultivated and planted, all of the remaining passes can be achieved without wheels on the ground - no matter the crop height or how wet the ground is - so say goodbye to wheel ruts produced after rain, sprayer tramlines, partially immature crop at harvest time, and unwanted soil compaction.
