How Drone Swarms Are Changing Large-Scale Spraying

DronesAgriculture

Coordinated fleets of agricultural drones can now cover hundreds of hectares in a single day, applying inputs with centimeter-level precision guided by prior multispectral scans.

Why fleets, not single drones

A single drone is limited by battery life and payload. Swarms split a field into zones, spray in parallel, and rotate battery swaps — turning a multi-day job into a single-day operation.

What this means for input costs

Precision application driven by NDVI maps means inputs go only where they're needed, often cutting chemical usage by 20-30% compared to blanket spraying.
