What are Agriculture Drones?
Agricultural drones (also called farm drones or precision agriculture UAVs) are unmanned aerial vehicles equipped with cameras, sensors, and spray systems designed for crop monitoring, mapping, spraying, and data collection. They provide farmers with aerial insights and precision application capabilities that were previously only available through manned aircraft.
Key Benefits
- ✓Survey hundreds of acres in minutes with multispectral and thermal imaging
- ✓Apply pesticides and fertilizers with precision, reducing chemical use by 30-50%
- ✓Detect crop stress, disease, and pest infestations before they spread
- ✓Create detailed field maps for variable-rate application of inputs
- ✓Reduce scouting time by 90% compared to manual field walking
Common Use Cases
- →Crop health monitoring with NDVI and multispectral imaging
- →Precision spraying of herbicides, fungicides, and fertilizers
- →Aerial seeding for cover crops and reforestation
- →Irrigation management through thermal imaging of water stress
- →Field mapping and 3D terrain modeling for drainage planning

TerraScout
The TerraScout is an autonomous robot designed for field scouting, capturing ultra-high-resolution imagery to enhance precision farming. It provides farmers with detailed data that can transform their approach to crop monitoring and decision-making.
XAG V40 Agricultural Drone
The XAG V40 is a next-generation agricultural drone combining both spraying and surveying capabilities in a single compact platform. With a 20-liter spray tank and integrated multispectral camera, it can scout fields for crop health issues and immediately treat problem areas in the same flight session. The drone features XAG's SuperX 4 Pro flight controller with terrain-following radar and centimeter-level RTK positioning. Its dual atomized spray system produces ultra-fine droplets for superior canopy penetration, particularly effective in dense crops like rice and fruit trees. Widely deployed across Southeast Asian rice-growing regions and African smallholder farms as part of XAG's mission to make precision agriculture accessible to farmers of all sizes.
DJI Mavic 3 Multispectral
The DJI Mavic 3 Multispectral is a compact survey drone equipped with a multispectral imaging system for precision crop scouting and health monitoring. It carries four multispectral cameras (green, red, red edge, near-infrared) plus an RGB camera, enabling NDVI mapping and detailed crop stress analysis. With 43-minute flight time and 2 cm/pixel GSD at 100m altitude, it can survey 200 hectares in a single flight. The drone generates prescription maps that guide variable-rate application of fertilizers and pesticides, optimizing input costs. Widely adopted by agronomists and precision agriculture consultants worldwide for field scouting, drainage analysis, and yield prediction.
DJI Agras T25
The DJI Agras T25 is a compact agricultural drone specifically designed for orchards, vineyards, and hilly terrain where larger drones cannot safely operate. With a 25 kg spray capacity and dual phased-array radar for advanced obstacle avoidance, it can navigate between tree canopies and along hillside contours with precision. The T25's smaller footprint makes it ideal for fragmented farmland and smaller operations that need professional-grade spraying capabilities at a lower price point. Its terrain-mapping system creates 3D models of orchards and hillsides to optimize spray routes and ensure complete coverage. Popular among tea plantation operators in Asia and vineyard managers in Europe, the T25 has proven especially effective in areas where ground-based spraying equipment cannot easily access.
XAG P100 Pro
The XAG P100 Pro is an autonomous agricultural drone featuring a 40-liter spray tank and XAG's proprietary RevoPump precision spraying system for uniform droplet distribution. Its AI-powered crop prescription mapping analyzes field data to create variable-rate application plans, applying more product where pest or weed pressure is highest and less where it isn't needed. The drone supports fully autonomous flight with RTK and visual positioning, enabling centimeter-level accuracy even in GPS-challenged environments. With Level 5 wind resistance and a flow rate of 12 liters per minute, it can operate reliably in conditions that would ground lesser drones. Deployed across over 50 countries, the P100 Pro is a cornerstone of XAG's mission to make precision agriculture accessible to smallholder farmers as well as large commercial operations.
DJI Agras T40
The DJI Agras T40 is a professional-grade agricultural drone with an industry-leading 40 kg spray payload and 50 kg spread payload, making it one of the most capable crop spraying drones on the market. It features dual atomized spraying systems and a coaxial twin-rotor design that generates a powerful downdraft for even chemical distribution across crop canopies. The T40's terrain-following radar automatically adjusts altitude over hills and uneven terrain, ensuring consistent spray coverage even in challenging topography. With intelligent route planning and swarm operation support, multiple T40 drones can work together to cover up to 53 acres per hour in spraying mode. Widely adopted across rice paddies in Asia, cotton fields in the Americas, and fruit orchards worldwide, it has become the go-to drone for large-scale precision agriculture.
