Drones open up new possibilities for performing fieldwork faster, more precisely, and more sustainably. At DJI Agriculture, we develop technology that enables you to seed, fertilize, monitor crops, and apply biological pest control without the need for heavy machinery.
Biological Control of Corn Borers with Parasitic Wasps
The corn borer can cause significant crop damage. With drones, it is possible to efficiently distribute Trichogramma parasitic wasps, the natural enemies of the corn borer, across the field. This method avoids driving tractors through the crop, keeping plants intact while controlling pests in an environmentally friendly way.
Underseeding Barley, Wheat, and Maize
Underseeding improves soil health and helps suppress weeds. Drones can precisely sow underseeding seed, even in wet or sensitive fields where heavy machinery could cause damage. This makes underseeding easier to apply and more effective.
Sowing Cover Crops and Clover
Cover crops protect the soil and improve its structure. Our drones can sow these crops without causing soil compaction, which is especially important in erosion-prone or hard-to-reach areas. Clover for pasture improvement can also be quickly sown using this method.
Potato Cultivation: Fertilization and Dust Suppression
In potato fields, drones can help accurately distribute fertilizers and dust suppression layers. This prevents damage to the ridges and enables faster work without the need for heavy equipment.
Organic Slug Pellets in Tulips and Field-Grown Vegetables
Slugs are a challenge in crops such as tulips and cabbages. Drones can apply organic slug pellets evenly without entering the crop. This is an effective, soil-friendly method that is also suitable for organic farming systems.
Applications in Orchards
In orchards, drones can be used to apply foliar fertilizers, compost tea, or to sow ground cover crops. This allows for precise work while avoiding damage to grass or tree roots.
Multispectral Analysis for Crop Monitoring
Drones such as the DJI Mavic 3 Multispectral can assess crop health, for example by detecting diseases or pests before they are visible to the naked eye. This enables timely intervention and helps reduce crop losses.
Why Use Drones?
-
Less soil compaction and crop damage
-
Precise application of seeds, fertilizers, and crop protection products
-
Fast and flexible, even in hard-to-reach or wet fields
-
Supports biological and sustainable farming systems
Who Is It For?
These applications are suitable for farmers, contractors, and drone operators looking for practical ways to work smarter in the field while respecting soil and the environment.
