Spraying and Spreading

With no ground compaction and the ability to cover challenging terrain, drones are the ultimate precision application tool, bringing efficiency and manageability to the agriculture and environmental sector.

NQ Aerovation use the latest DJI agriculture drones, capable of granular and liquid application of pesticides, herbicides, fertilisers and seeds in both broad-acre cropping and pastures as well as targeting invasive weeds and pests in challenging terrain such as waterways, dam walls, stockpiles, rail corridors and solar farms.

Capabilities

Targeted application

Combined with mapping and intelligent software, our drone fleet can target specific areas where treatment is necessary, reducing chemical usage with effective, data-driven best practices.

Optimal spray density

With interchangeable spray nozzles for any application, optimal spray density is achieved with a swath of up to 9 meters. The downward airflow generated by the propellers results in a strong penetration with exceptional drift prevention.

Fast and efficient

Each of our spray drones and experienced Pilots can spray up to 100 hectares per day with a 30 litre water rate, treating crops quickly after a rain event, preventing disease and pest numbers rising.

Cost Savings

Reduce labour and pesticide/herbicide input costs: and the potential costs of a fixed wing crop duster or helicopter.

Access Challenging Terrain

Treat crops following a rain event when tractors are unable to operate.
Reach challenging terrain and cover large areas, penetrating dense crops.

Improve Biosecurity

Prevent the spread of disease and pests by reducing people and vehicle movement.

Environmental Savings

Accurate data, intelligent software and variable rate application targets specific areas only where treatment is necessary.

They are fast and efficient,…
