Drone Spraying Pesticides

With the explosion of the human population, making high productivity, high performance and sustainable agriculture will be more and more important.

In today's agriculture, there are far too many innovations involved. One of the emerging technologies is pesticide spraying using drones. Manual pesticide spraying has a number of negative consequences for the people who are involved in the spraying operation. However, Drone can be used to automate fertilizer application, pesticide spraying, and field tracking.

RELAB designs a mini-type spray tip. It has unique advantages of small size and light weight, does not increase the burden on the drone, and has a variety of flow rates for option.

Each spray nozzle is placed directly below a motor, ensuring that the downward airflow generated by the octocopters propellers accelerates the spray, increasing its reach. Fitted with intelligent memory, the drone records its current position, remembering its past coordinates so that flight can easily be resumed after refilling or battery changes.

Combined with mapping, drone sprayers can be utilised to target specific areas where treatment of fertiliser and soil ameliorants is necessary, reducing disease and increasing efficiency both in processes and revegetation outcomes. The combination of speed and power means that areas are able to be treated up to 40 times faster than manual spraying operations.

With the ability to cover varied and uneven terrain, drones are fast becoming the ultimate precision spraying tool.
