Drone Patch Spraying - Autonomous Patch Spraying Using An XAG P100 Drone

Autonomous Patch Spraying By Drone.
Last week I was at the Staffordshire County Fair showing the big XAG Drones and got chatting to a local farmer.
He’s very proactive when it comes to controlling black grass in his fields.
Before coming to the County Fair, he’d had to drive his self-propelled sprayer 28 Kilometres, up and down the tramlines in one of his large fields, to treat a number of patches of black grass with a total area of only 2.1 hectares.
That’s 28 kilometres in a big self-propelled sprayer to treat an area the size of 2 football pitches. Think of the time, the diesel, the ruts, the compaction and potential for crop damage.
I explained to him that all the XAG drones are ideal for patch spraying. You simply mark the areas that need spraying on the app, or import your weed map, set up the spray parameters and the drone will do the rest.
So, if you were applying your chemical at 150 litres per hectare, a quick back of an envelope calculation tells me that you’d be able to do that job in under 40 minutes with the XAG P100 drone.
No diesel burned, no ruts, compaction, no crop damage. But most importantly, much safer.
The big XAG Spray drones are all approved for UK agricultural spraying jobs but you need to remember that spraying pesticides still requires further authorisation.
We’re working closely the UK’s HSE and CRD teams to allow the benefits of drone patch spraying with pesticides to be used by UK farmers.
Off course, if you’re spraying a chemical, biocide or organic that isn’t regulated by HSE then it’s open season.
