Aerial Spraying

A spray drone like the DJI Agras T25 flies a pre-planned grid 8–12 ft above the canopy. Onboard radar holds altitude to the crop, GPS RTK keeps the swath within centimeters, and pressurized nozzles release a calibrated rate per acre. The pilot sets the prescription on the ground, the drone flies it autonomously, and a digital map records every acre applied.

Pricing depends on acreage, crop type, and weather windows. Text or call us at 604 BC DRONE for a same-day quote. Buying a sprayer drone outright runs well into the tens of thousands plus chemicals, batteries, training, and certification — most growers find hiring an operator pays off until they cross several hundred acres of annual spray work.

Yes — drone spraying went from novelty to mainstream over the past three seasons. Growers use them for fungicide rescue passes after rain, late-season applications when ground rigs would rut the field, and any acreage too wet, too steep, or too tall for a tractor or airplane.

For the right job, yes. Drones eliminate wheel tracks and soil compaction, apply variable rates from a prescription map, fly when fields are too wet for ground equipment, and turn around in hours instead of days. Ground rigs still win on huge contiguous acreage in dry conditions; drones win on irregular fields, wet ground, tall canopies, and targeted zones.

Same job, smaller and smarter aircraft. A manned crop duster covers acres fast but flies higher, drifts further, and can't change rate mid-pass. Crop dusting drones fly low and slow, follow the terrain, apply variable rates from a prescription, and skip the airstrip — we take off from the field edge.
