Benefits of using a drone for spreading fertiliser

Also note that our drone technology enables the creation and execution of variable rate prescription maps for fertiliser spreading - seeVariable Rate Applications

1. Precision application: our drone is fitted with an easily calibrated spreader as well as built in scales, meaning it can easily apply fertiliser with high accuracy, ensuring that the right amount is delivered to specific areas. This minimises waste and optimises nutrient use. Also, precisely placed fert greatly suits today's rules & regulations, and will benefit surrounding waterways and ecosystems.

2. Access to difficult terrain: our drone can easily navigate challenging landscapes, such as steep hills or wetlands, where conventional machinery may struggle.

3. Minimised soil compaction: aerial application eliminates soil compaction that can occur with heavy machinery, helping to maintain soil health.

4. No damage: spreading fertiliser with ground based spreaders can often be quite a catch 22, whereby driving all over the crop or pasture to broadcast the fert, you’re causing damage to the very plants whose growth you’re trying to boost. Aerial application means there’s no tyres in the paddock, therefore no killed, squashed or stunted plants. 

If you're interested in variable rate fert spreading, need your hilly paddocks covered, or have seen enough soil and crop damage caused by ground-based spreader tyres, it might be time to use our drone to attack this years fertiliser spreading programme.
