DRONE FARMING SERVICES
Spraying, spreading and mapping for New Zealand Farms
Overview- From blanket weed spraying to variable-rate fertiliser, seed, crop protection, imaging and mapping - if the job means difficult terrain, wet ground, or accurate application without heavy gear on the paddock, a drone is often the right tool.

FERTILIZER APPLICATION
Uniform across flat ground, variable rate where inputs need to differ — accurately, and without compaction.
WHY A DRONE · Precision GPS, variable-rate capability, fast coverage and compliant records.

Uniform spreading
Even application at a set rate, GPS-guided — no missed strips, no overlapping waste.
Variable rate
More where it's needed, less where it isn't.
Foliar fertilizer
Applied to the leaf, evenly, with the drone's downwash pushing product into the canopy.
Nitrogen — foliar & solid
Liquid foliar or solid - no compaction, no wheel tracks,

WEED AND GORSE SPRAYING
Whole paddock or just the patches — mapped, planned, sprayed, including ground you'd never take a tractor across.
WHY A DRONE · No compaction, GPS-logged records, and reach into terrain off-limits to ground gear.

Blanket weed spraying
Full paddock herbicide, GPS guided- consistent coverage with no missed patches or wasted overlap.
Targeted/mapped spraying
Fly and map the weeds first, then spray only what needs it- less chemical, lower cost per hectare
Steep & difficult areas
Faces, gullies, wet ground and rough terrain. A drone doesn't care about slope — if we can fly it, we can spray it.
