Drone application

Liquids, granules and seed where the tractor is not worth it

Foliar feeding, biostimulants, granular fertiliser, broadcast seeding of cover crops and targeted applications. With the DJI Agras T100, one hundred litres per load.

The point

The drone does not replace the boom: it takes over where the boom loses

The DJI Agras T100 head on at blue hour, spray falling onto the crop
Three metres above the canopy the droplet lands where it should, not where the wind takes it

A three tonne tractor entering a wet field leaves its mark for the whole season. On slopes, in paddies, on small or fragmented plots, the pass costs more than the treatment itself.

The T100 flies three metres above the crop, applies forty litres a minute and returns to the charging point. The agronomist sets dose and zone, the pilot executes, the report arrives the same evening.

On plant protection products the rules are precise. We apply them only where aerial treatment is authorised, and we check that in writing before the quote.

What we do

The work

  • 01
    The drone laying a fine mist over the field, backlit at dawn

    Liquid products

    Foliar fertilisers, biostimulants, plant strengtheners. Droplets from 50 to 500 microns, set for the product and the crop.

    100 L tank
  • 02
    X-ray view of the drone tank and pumps

    Granules and fertiliser

    Fertilisers, soil improvers and microgranules from the 150 litre spreader, up to four hundred kilos a minute.

    Green fields from above, with the stripes of the drill

    Broadcast seeding

    Cover crops, green manure and inter-row grassing, also on wet ground before the field is passable.

    Targeted applications

    Only on the zones marked by the multispectral map, with variable rate cell by cell. Less product, same result.

    Authorised treatments

    Plant protection products only where regulations allow, with written verification of product, crop and zone before the job.

    case by case

Variable rate

One route, one rate per cell

The drone flies the field in a serpentine and opens the nozzles only where the map says so. Cells light up as it passes: full rate where the crop is stressed, half on the margin, nothing elsewhere.

How it runs

Three steps, one report

  1. The pilot's hands on the controller, field behind
    01

    Site visit and map

    Boundaries, obstacles, charging and water points. The field becomes a flight mission, with you beside us.

  2. The drone scan cone projected onto the crop rows
    02

    Operation plan

    Routes, height, dose and swath width, approved together before take-off.

  3. The agricultural drone on the ground ready for take off, sun low

    Job and report

    The pilot flies, the system logs every pass, the report with maps arrives the same day.

Why at dawn

At six in the morning there is no wind yet

The droplet falls where it should, not where the air carries it. That is why applications start early, and our day begins before the light.

Questions

Before you write

Can you apply plant protection products?

Only where Italian and European regulations allow it, and with the specific authorisation for the product and the crop. We check before the quote and tell you straight away if it cannot be done.

Fertilisers, biostimulants, plant strengtheners, granular fertiliser and seed carry no such restriction.

How long does ten hectares take?

At twenty litres per hectare, two loads and about an hour of effective work, recharges included. Higher doses or fragmented fields take longer, and we write that into the quote.

Do you need water and product on site?

Yes: a water point the van can reach, and the product already on the farm. We bring the mixer and the generator for charging.

Do you fly in wind?

Up to five metres a second for liquids, a little more for granules. Beyond that we postpone: drift is not a risk worth the day.
