Managing weeds is a massive headache. Whether you got a small lifestyle block near town or a big farm out in the country, invasive plants never stop growing. Some folks spend their whole weekend pulling weeds by hand or lugging heavy spray backpacks up hills. But using agriculture drones has totally changed how we handle property maintenance.
Busting Through Tough Weeds like Gorse
Gorse is probably one of the most annoying plants to get rid of in Nelson and the Tasman region. It grows thick, its covered in nasty spikes, and it spreads super fast across your paddocks.
Our gorse spraying drone services are perfect for dealing with this. The really cool thing about using a drone is the heavy wind from the propellers. We call it “downwash”. As the drone flies low over the bushes, that downwash pushes the spiky branches apart. This means the spray gets right down deep inside the plant foliage instead of just sitting on the top. You get a really solid hit for long-term control, without needing to climb into the prickly mess yourself.
We have a proven track record with excellent, guaranteed results. We take the time to use a high water rate in order to saturate the plant effecting in a total kill.
Keeping Delicate Crops Safe
It’s not just rough hill country that needs looking after. High-value crops need exact care too. If you run a vineyard, you know how important it is to keep the ground healthy and aerated. Heavy ground machinery can squash the soil, specially after it rains and the ground is soft.
Choosing our vineyard spraying drone services completely solves that issue. We fly right over the rows. There are zero heavy tires ruining your soil or compacting the ground. Plus, our drones use an advanced RTK GPS system. That basically means the flight path is accurate down to under 3 centimetres. The spray only goes exactly on the vines that actually need it, saving you money on wasted chemicals.
Tech That Works for Every Landowner
At Agri Drone Specialists, we use big, modern drones fitted with 40-litre tanks. They can pump out 24 litres a minute, which means we cover your land pretty quick. Because we can control the exact size of the spray droplets with a push of a button, it stops the chemicals from drifting away into the neighbors yard or nearby creeks.
It’s just a super clean, quiet, and efficient way to look after your land. It doesn’t matter how steep, wet, or hard to reach the ground is, the drone just glides right over it.
