3 reasons to spray with an agricultural drone

Definitely one of the leading trends this year is agricultural drones. Flying machines are no longer part of popular science films, but on the contrary — they can be seen more and more often on Bulgarian flights. But which main advantages make drones a preferred choice among farmers.

1. Effectiveness, regardless of conditions

Spraying is an important part of agricultural treatments in the field, and sometimes you have too short a time to work. But not always the weather conditions are on your side. For example, rain can delay you by at least 2 days to enter with a ground machine in the field. And this delay can cost you production losses. The solution in this situation is only one - spraying with autonomous agricultural drones. Regardless of the unfavorable conditions on the terrain, with them you will be able to do your job efficiently and on time.

2. Saving valuable time

Sometimes it happens that various pests attack crops in the process of development - extremely quickly and unexpectedly. For example, last year, the sunflower crop in Northeastern Bulgaria faced a serious challenge — a meadow butterfly attack. At such a time, one must act quickly to prevent losses. Yes, but when the crop is high, going in with a ground sprayer would cause even more serious damage. That is why spraying with an agricultural drone is the best and effective solution to the problem. In addition, with it you have the possibility to spray also at night, with which possible damage to the bees can also be avoided.

3. A more sustainable way of spraying and caring for the environment

The issue of environmental protection is increasingly sitting on the global agenda. Already in October 2022, stricter directives on atmospheric air, surface and groundwater pollutants were adopted in order to reduce environmental pollution. This is another step towards achieving the ambitious goal of the European Green Deal of zero pollution by 2050. It is agricultural drones that are one of the most popular means of more sustainable agriculture because they are electrically powered (battery powered), do not use fuels and do not disperse harmful emissions into the air.
