This largely depends on the desired water rate, weather and terrain. For example a flat, 50Ha field being sprayed at 20L/Ha on a calm sunny day would only take 5 Hrs, where as the same size field in breakaway country would take a little longer due to the need for the drone to maintain accurate altitude and in turn correct swath width.
Yes we can. We are able to apply a multitude of granular compounds, seeds, fertilisers and soil improvers. As with spraying, the amound of ground we can cover is dependant on the desired application rate, weather and terrain. Some of our more common applications are Urea, Lime and Cover crop sowing of various kinds.
Our specialty in particular is our attention to detail. We ensure accurate applications to eliminate waste and therefore save our clients money. Application wise, the main difference between our methods and traditional aerial applications is that we are able to fly low and slow (slow in comparison to aeroplanes and helicopters). By doing this we achieve a higher quality application through the ability to force the chemical down into the crop and in turn penetrate through. We can also change droplet size on the fly to adapt to changing weather conditions and can vary the droplets fron 50 to 500 microns. We are also able to fly around obstacles and boundaries more precisely eliminating over spray and reducing chemical usage.
