When the tractor
can't go on
Wet ground, a narrow treatment window, a canopy that has closed over. These are the conditions where we stop using tractors and start using flying machines.
Four conditions that decide it
Unsuitable Soil
When ground is too wet, too steep, too rocky, or when you cannot afford to damage the soil structure with heavy machinery.
Narrow Window
Post-rain disease pressure where you need to apply immediately, but the ground is too wet for tractors.
Closed Canopy
Late stage crops where driving a tractor through will cause unacceptable mechanical damage to the crop.
Foliar at Flowering
Downwash from the rotors pushes spray deep into the canopy, coating the underside of leaves effectively.
For arable crops — cereals, rapeseed, sunflower and maize — drone spraying works very well, and is worth applying with confidence rather than treating as a trial.
Small, Medium, Large
| Model | Size | Max Flow Rate | Payload | Applications |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| L10 Pro | Small | 5 L/min | 10 L | Spot spray |
| L30 | Medium | 16 L/min | 30 L | Orchard |
| L50 | Large | 22 L/min | 50 L | Broadacre |
Pest Control
Pesticides, herbicides and fungicides applied evenly, with less drift and no operator in the spray zone.
Fertiliser
Liquid and foliar fertiliser, including at flowering when a boom sprayer struggles to travel.
Seeding
Broadcast seeding and granular spreading at 440 to 1100 kg/hr through S20 and S50 hoppers.
Greenhouse Shading
Shading compound applied to greenhouse roofs evenly, with nobody climbing onto glass.
Trichogramma, spread by air
The L10 PRO carries a Trichogramma spreader. These parasitic wasps target the eggs of specific lepidopteran pests very efficiently — and only those. They do not harm other beneficial insects, which makes them valuable where chemical use is tightly regulated.
Best suited to maize, cotton and sunflower, and potentially intensive vegetable crops such as peppers, tomatoes and beans — anywhere Helicoverpa armigera is causing intensive damage. Capsules are supplied by specialist producers, contain the wasps in egg form, and need refrigerated storage until application.
Target Pests
Heliothis
Helicoverpa armigera and H. punctigera
Loopers
Chrysodeixis spp.
Carob Moth
Ectomyelois ceratoniae
Cabbage Moth
Plutella xylostella
European Corn Borer
Ostrinia nubilalis
Trichogramma are effective against certain lepidopteran pests only — not all of them.
