Aerial Spraying
Aerial spraying uses drones to apply liquid products across pasture, rural properties and difficult-access terrain. This includes pasture spraying, targeted weed treatment and application in areas where conventional equipment cannot safely operate.
Common Uses
- Pasture weed control
- Lantana and woody weed treatment
- Targeted spot spraying
- Difficult-access and steep terrain
- Broadacre pasture spraying
Information Needed
- Treatment area size and location
- Target weed or pasture type
- Approved product and application rate (from the product label)
- Water availability on site
- Terrain and access details
- Any obstacles (powerlines, trees, buildings)
Important Limitations
- Products and application rates must comply with the approved product label and applicable requirements
- Operations are subject to weather conditions
- Application by Drone does not recommend specific chemicals, application rates or tank mixtures
- Site assessment may be required before quoting
Specifications
Liquid application via drone-mounted spray system
Fertiliser and Granular Spreading
Granular spreading uses drones to distribute fertiliser, seed and other suitable granular products across pasture, rural properties and difficult-access areas. This is particularly useful for steep terrain, wet ground and areas unsuitable for conventional spreading equipment.
Common Uses
- Pasture fertiliser application
- Revegetation and pasture seeding
- Difficult-access fertiliser spreading
- Steep and rolling country
Information Needed
- Treatment area size and location
- Product type and application rate
- Product availability (on site or needs arranging)
- Terrain and access details
- Any obstacles
Important Limitations
- Product suitability must be confirmed before the job
- Operations are subject to weather conditions
- Site assessment may be required before quoting
Specifications
Granular application via drone-mounted spreader
Aerial Seeding and Revegetation
Aerial seeding uses drones to distribute seed across pasture, revegetation sites and difficult-access areas. This is useful for pasture improvement, erosion control planting and revegetation projects where ground-based seeding is impractical.
Common Uses
- Pasture improvement and over-sowing
- Revegetation of disturbed areas
- Erosion control planting
- Difficult-access seeding
Information Needed
- Treatment area size and location
- Seed type and application rate
- Seed availability (on site or needs arranging)
- Terrain and access details
Important Limitations
- Seed suitability must be confirmed before the job
- Germination depends on seasonal and soil conditions
- Site assessment may be required before quoting
Specifications
Seed distribution via drone-mounted spreader
Pasture and Weed Treatment
Pasture and weed treatment involves targeted application to manage weeds and unwanted vegetation across rural properties. Drones can access steep, wet and difficult terrain where conventional spraying equipment cannot safely operate.
Common Uses
- Lantana and woody weed control
- Pasture weed management
- Targeted spot treatment
- Difficult-access weed spraying
Information Needed
- Treatment area size and location
- Target weed species
- Approved product and application rate
- Water availability on site
- Terrain and access details
Important Limitations
- Products and application rates must comply with the approved product label
- Operations are subject to weather conditions
- Site assessment may be required before quoting
Specifications
Targeted liquid application via drone
Mapping and Treatment Planning
Mapping and treatment planning uses drone imagery to create accurate property maps, measure treatment areas, identify priority zones and produce before-and-after records. This helps property owners understand their land and plan treatment effectively.
Common Uses
- Property and treatment-area mapping
- Area measurement for quoting
- Before-and-after monitoring
- Priority treatment-area identification
- Treatment planning support
Information Needed
- Property location and boundaries
- Purpose of mapping (quoting, monitoring, planning)
- Approximate area to be mapped
- Access to the property
Important Limitations
- Mapping is indicative and should not replace professional surveying where legally required
- Imagery quality depends on weather and lighting conditions
- Site access is required
Specifications
High-resolution aerial imagery and area measurement
Difficult-Access Land Management
Difficult-access land management uses drones to treat areas where conventional machinery cannot safely or practically operate — including steep hillsides, wet or boggy ground, gullies, uneven pasture and areas with limited vehicle access.
Common Uses
- Steep hillside treatment
- Wet or boggy ground
- Gullies and drainage lines
- Areas with limited vehicle access
- Properties unsuitable for tractors or ground equipment
Information Needed
- Treatment area size and location
- Terrain description (slope, ground conditions)
- Access details for vehicles and personnel
- Service required (spraying, spreading, seeding)
- Any obstacles
Important Limitations
- Site assessment is strongly recommended for difficult-access work
- Operations are subject to weather and safety conditions
- Some extremely steep or hazardous terrain may not be suitable
Specifications
Drone application in terrain unsuitable for ground equipment
Before-and-After Property Monitoring
Before-and-after monitoring captures aerial imagery before and after treatment, providing property owners with visual records of work completed and treatment progress over time.
Common Uses
- Treatment progress documentation
- Before-and-after comparisons
- Ongoing property monitoring
- Records for property management
Information Needed
- Property location
- Treatment area
- Timing of before and after captures
- Access to the property
Important Limitations
- Imagery is for monitoring purposes and should not replace professional surveying
- Captures depend on weather and lighting conditions
Specifications
