Draganfly has a legacy as a global leader in designing commercial drones for agriculture. Our hardware and extensive sensor options come together to create crop monitoring, spraying, and analysis systems that empower our partners to assess inventory, manage and maintain their fields, monitor how environmental factors impact crop yields, and ultimately maximize production.
Growers can use drones to assess crop fertility and observe precisely where to apply resources like fertilizer and pesticides. Using this data, it’s possible to achieve greater consistency and maximize production.
Drones help growers gain fresh insights into irrigation systems, allowing them to monitor consistency and make strategic changes to improve water movement and application, plan irrigation systems, and analyze water distribution to track effectiveness.
Aerial imagery can help growers have their finger on the pulse of crop fertility, automate data collection, and receive powerful insights to better inform growing and harvesting practices. Drones can identify potential inconsistencies with planting equipment, irrigation, or starter fertilizers. This knowledge can then provide opportunities for adjustments, and help the following growing season to start off on the right foot.
Rapidly and remotely monitor herds over large areas while gaining flexibility in daily operations. Remote monitoring gives insight into where the cattle are and whether they have access to water sources. Inspect pastures and monitor any heavily grazed or dangerous locations from which cattle should be directed.
Drones can help farmers keep carefully track shifting topography and borders to avoid encroaching on nearby land. By using drones, farmers can closely monitor their properties as they change over time. Additionally, land elevation and slope metrics collected from drones help determine optimum seeding rates and spacing.
From a rescue fungicide application to cover crop seeding, Draganfly sprayer and spreader drones are earning their place on farms. They provide a cheaper, faster and more flexible method for in-field applications. Reduce chemicals sprayed on crops while improving the quality and profitability of production. Spray without damaging your crop, and without the high cost of hiring an aircraft. Draganfly Spray Drones allow accurate application of chemicals in an incredibly economical manner. All drone spraying operations must comply with the applicable laws, rules, and regulations of the respective area and jurisdiction.
Surveillance drones can capture detailed aerial footage and communicate with security systems and wildlife deterrence systems, helping to stop intruders in their tracks. Growers can stay on top of rapidly shifting weather conditions and avoid dangerous and life-threatening situations. Additionally, drones can also help determine when a dangerous storm is approaching.
Drones can assist before, during, and after disasters, giving farmers advanced data to plan and respond to incidents whenever they occur. Drones can help growers identify disasters when they occur and respond quickly to mitigate damage and assess damage over a large area, especially one that may not be safe or reasonable to traverse on foot or by motor vehicle.
