Aerial spraying is ideal for farmers looking to save time, reduce costs, and improve efficiency in crop protection. If your land has uneven terrain, wet areas, or is difficult to access with traditional machinery, drones offer a hassle-free solution. It’s also great for those who want a more precise and sustainable approach to spraying.
Our drones are equipped to spray fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, and even liquid nutrients with high accuracy. We ensure the correct application rates for your specific crop type, providing even coverage without waste.
Yes! Drones help identify crop issues early, such as disease or water stress, allowing farmers to take timely action. This proactive approach leads to healthier crops and higher yields.
Absolutely. Drones are helpful on both small and large farms. For smaller operations, a multirotor drone works well for monitoring crops, mapping fields, and even spraying.
While the initial investment may seem high, the long-term benefits—like reduced input costs, higher yields, and saved time—make using drones for your agribusiness worth the expense.
Absolutely! Drones are versatile tools. Besides spraying, they can be used for tasks like crop monitoring, soil analysis, planting, and even aerial seeding. Their adaptability makes them a valuable asset on any farm.
Yes, in Australia, you need a Remote Pilot Licence (RePL) from the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) if you plan to operate a drone for agricultural or other commercial purposes. However, if you’re flying smaller drones (under 25 kg) solely over your own farm and not providing services to others, you may not need a RePL. The licensing process involves completing theory and practical components through an accredited training provider. This ensures pilots understand CASA’s rules, including airspace regulations and safety protocols.
In Australia, drones have a maximum legal height of 400ft above ground level. However, in the case of spraying drones fly a lot closer to the ground to increase accuracy and decrease spray drift.
In most cases, drones should not be flown at night unless they have proper lighting and permission from authorities. Night flights are tricky due to reduced visibility.
Drones can collect data on crop health, soil conditions, moisture levels, and more. This data is crucial for making informed decisions about your farm.
Yes, but it’s important to keep a safe distance to avoid spooking the animals.
You will also need a Remote Operator’s Certificate (ReOC) from CASA if you wish to operate a drone commercially and you will also need an Aerial Distribution Contractor Licence from Biosecurity Queensland if you wish to use agricultural chemicals from a drone commercially.
Aero AG has all the required licenses to help you achieve your farming goals.
Agricultural drones are versatile and can be used in various types of farming, from small-scale vegetable gardens to large commercial farms. They are adaptable to different crops and farming practices, making them valuable tools for a wide range of agricultural applications.
It’s a way to spray crops from the air using drones. The drones fly low, spray evenly, and save time compared to tractors or manual work.
Yes! Drones spray with precision, avoiding overspray or chemical waste, so your crops get just the right amount.
Absolutely. Drones can handle both fertilisers and pesticides, spraying them evenly across your fields.
Drone maps are highly accurate, showing even small details of your land. This helps you spot issues early and plan better.
It’s best to spray on calm, dry days with little wind, so the spray stays where it’s needed.
Prices vary depending on the drone’s features, but Aero AG offers options to fit different budgets. Drone services over traditional farming methods in most cases is cheaper over the long-term.
Not completely, but they make spraying, spreading, and surveying faster and easier, giving you more time for other farm tasks.
