Aerial Weed Spraying

Precision Aerial Weed Spraying and Vegetation Management

Aerial weed spraying uses a GPS-guided drone to apply targeted herbicide treatment across pasture, difficult-access country and invasive weed infestations throughout South East Queensland — reducing the need for ground equipment on steep, rough or boggy terrain.

Targeted Control

Targeted Weed Control from the Air

Aerial weed spraying allows herbicide to be applied precisely across the areas where weeds are present, rather than treating an entire paddock. This targeted approach can reduce the volume of product used and limit off-target exposure.

The drone follows a GPS flight plan that can be shaped to match the infestation, so product is applied only where it is needed. This is particularly valuable for scattered weed outbreaks, patchy infestations and weeds in hard-to-reach country.

Pasture Weeds

Pasture Weed Management

Weeds in grazing pasture reduce productivity by competing with desirable grasses and clovers. Aerial weed spraying is a practical way to treat pasture weeds across larger areas or difficult country where hand spraying or boom spraying is not feasible.

For more detail on treating weeds in grazing land, see our pasture weed spraying page.

Invasive and Woody Weeds

Invasive and Woody Weed Control

Invasive weeds such as lantana can establish dense infestations on steep, timbered or difficult-access country where ground treatment is impractical. Aerial application provides a way to treat these areas without the need to cut tracks or drive equipment across rough terrain.

For specific information on treating lantana, see our lantana drone spraying page.

Difficult Access

Difficult-Access Vegetation

Many weed problems occur in the places that are hardest to reach — steep hillsides, gullies, creek lines, dense regrowth and wet or boggy ground. Aerial weed spraying allows these areas to be treated safely without the risk and effort of ground access.

Our Approach

Our Approach to Aerial Weed Control

Every weed spraying job begins with an assessment of the property, the target weed, the treatment area and any sensitive zones such as waterways or neighbouring land. A flight plan is then created to apply product accurately and manage drift.

Applications are subject to site assessment, applicable product labels, weather conditions and regulatory requirements. We do not guarantee chemical performance or weed eradication — results depend on the product, the target, the conditions and follow-up management.
