agricultural applications
Cover Cropping - Using a drone to sow cover crops into standing crops shows multiple benefits over standard methods. Such as; early establishment, improved soil health, better soil protection and greater weed suppression.
Fertilisation - Getting fert on in time is esential for crop growth. However, sometimes external factors stop you from doing so. Whether that be due to the fields being too wet or the field is in a location unsuitable for a tractor, drone application is the perfect way to stay on track.
Late stage Nutrition - Many crops, such as wheat, barley, oil seed rape and maize, benefit greatly from late stage fertilisation. Improving yield, grain protein content, grain filling and many mroe benefits.
Pod Sealants - Applying Pod sealants to crops such as OSR shows massive benefits in yield. It prevents the loss of shattered pods, also largely reducing the amount of volunteer crops the following season. However, using traditional machinery can often cause more damage than good, as pods are knocked off during application. A drone completely mitigates this risk, whislt aslo giving a much better coverage of pods deeper into the canopy.
