Fertilizer Application in Maryland

Apply granular and liquid fertilizers with precision from the air.

🌿

How fertilizer application works

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.

Typical rate: $12–$20/acre
