Aerial Application Services

Our Services

Agricultural Crop Spraying

Precision aerial application for row crops using professional spray drones—ideal for fungicides, insecticides, herbicides, and liquid nutrients without crop damage or soil compaction.

Dry Fertilizer & Cover Crop Spreading

Drone-based dry spreading of cover crop seed and granular inputs over standing corn and soybeans—supporting timely establishment without disturbing the crop or soil.

Vegetation & Edge Management

Targeted aerial application for ditch banks, fence rows, pond edges, and hard-to-reach areas where precision and minimal disturbance are critical.

Crop & Application Use Cases

🌽 Corn

Drone application allows fungicide, insecticide, fertilizer, and cover crop seeding to be completed without running equipment through standing corn—eliminating crop damage and compaction while protecting yield.

Common corn applications include:

• Late-season fungicide and insecticide passes

• Dry fertilizer inputs in early spring

• Fall cover crop seeding before harvest

🌱 Soybeans

Aerial application over soybeans provides accurate coverage during key growth stages, especially when canopy height or field conditions limit ground access.

Common soybean applications include:

• Fungicide and insecticide treatments

• Dry fertilizer inputs during soft field conditions

• Cover crop seeding into standing beans in the fall

🌾 Wheat

Drone spraying allows timely applications during sensitive growth stages where ground equipment can cause damage or is impractical.

Typical uses include:

• Early disease prevention

• Uniform application without trampling crops

🌿 Field Edges, Waterways & Sensitive Areas

Drone application excels in areas where precision and access matter most.

Ideal for:

• Ditch banks and drainage systems

• Fence rows and field borders

• Pond edges and conservation areas

Low-altitude flight and controlled application reduce drift while eliminating soil disturbance.

🌿 Invasive Species Control

Targeted drone application for invasive plants such as honeysuckle and kudzu in hard-to-reach areas, reducing soil disturbance and improving treatment efficiency.

Ideal locations:

• Wood lines and forest edges

• Steep or uneven terrain

• Fence rows and overgrown field borders

• Conservation and unmanaged areas

Precision aerial application allows targeted treatment while minimizing disturbance to surrounding vegetation and soil.

Dry Cover Crop & Fertilizer Applications

Spring Dry Fertilizer Inputs (March–April)
Precise aerial spreading of dry fertilizer and granular inputs early in the season when field conditions are soft or inaccessible.

Fall Cover Crop Seeding (September–October)
Aerial seeding of cover crops over standing corn and soybeans, allowing earlier establishment without running equipment through the field.

Common Applications:

• Cover crop seeding into standing corn or soybeans

• Granular fertilizer and soil amendments

• Fields where ground access is limited

• Reduced compaction and zero crop damage
