Apply granular and liquid fertilizers with precision from the air.
Fertilizer application by drone delivers granular nutrients (urea, DAP, MAP) and foliar liquids uniformly across fields. The centrifugal spreading system covers a swath of 8 to 16 feet with consistent distribution. Ideal for variable-rate topdressing, late-season foliar applications, and areas with limited ground equipment access. Same drones used for spraying are fitted with spreader attachments for fertilizer applications.
American-made NDAA-compliant ag drones & operator network
Hylio designs and manufactures the AG-272, the leading NDAA-compliant agricultural spray drone in the United States, and supports a national network of certified Hylio operators. The company provides sales, training, and operator support for federal programs, defense-adjacent ag operations, and buyers requiring US-manufactured drone equipment.
Liquid foliar fertilizers, granular urea, DAP, MAP, and micronutrient blends with particle sizes of 1 to 4 mm. Dry fertilizers must be free-flowing and compatible with centrifugal spreader systems. Custom blends and biological products also work well.
