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.
