Crop Spraying

Efficient and Intelligent Crop Spraying Solutions

Precision Aerial Application

Drone crop spraying replaces manual and tractor-based application with an aircraft that maps the field, plans its own flight path, and applies inputs only where they're needed. GPS autonomy and radar-assisted terrain-follow keep the aircraft at a precise height above the crop, even on uneven ground.

By incorporating crop spraying with intelligent mapping, spraying can be targeted to the areas that need it — reducing chemical usage and operational costs while ensuring full, even coverage across the field. Aerial seeding uses the same platform to broadcast seed directly, far faster than manual methods.

Our BushID system takes this a step further by identifying weeds and invasive alien plants directly from the aerial imagery, then generating precision spray zones so treatment is applied only where it's actually needed.

Key Specifications

  • 8 nozzles — spray rate up to 6 L/min
  • Approximately 12 ha covered per hour
  • Built-in RTK centimetre-level positioning
  • Advanced imaging radar and slope angle detection
  • 20L tank with night-time lighting system
  • Up to 10 ha/hour, 24 hours a day capability

System Capabilities

Accuracy

Advanced imaging radar and slope angle detection allows superior navigation in adverse terrain. RTK centimetre-level positioning ensures targeted, precise application.

Coverage

8 nozzles with high-volume pumps spray at up to 6 L/min. A highly optimised wind field produces droplets ideal in size and consistency for maximum penetration.

Certified Team

Pilots have undergone advanced training in aerial application to ensure safe handling of aircraft and high-quality application to all crops.

Mix & Fill Station

Our auto-tendering station ensures ground crew mix the right amounts of inputs precisely when needed, providing flexibility and avoiding waste.

Aerial Seeding

Dry spreader payload up to 16L with dispense rate up to 15 kg/min. For direct seeding 0.5–5mm in size, 70× faster than manual operations.

No Soil Compaction

Zero ground equipment means no tractor-induced soil compaction — better long-term soil health and reduced field damage.

BushID Weed & Invasive Plant Detection

BushID automatically classifies vegetation from aerial imagery, identifying weeds and invasive alien plants and mapping their precise GPS treatment zones. Precision spraying is then targeted only at those zones — instead of blanket application across the whole field.

Crop Spraying Workflow

1
Field Mapping · DJI Mavic 3M

Data Acquisition

Centimetre-level positioning and high-precision data collection over the target fields.

2
Weed Detection · BushID

Identify & Plan

BushID identifies weeds and invasive alien plants from the mapping data and flags their exact GPS locations, which feed directly into an AI-generated, autonomous precision flight path.

Spraying · DJI Agras T50 & T70

Precision Spraying

Improved operational efficiency — spray rate up to 6 L/min, covering approximately 8 ha/hour.

Advantages of Drone Crop Spraying

Coverage to the leaf's edge of the field
Applicant penetration up to ¾ of the crop
No soil compaction from tractors
Less chemical usage and wastage
Access difficult-to-reach areas on farms
Uses less water vs. ground application
