Real Agri-Drone Results in Sunflower Fields

Agri-drones work not in theory, but directly in your fields. We have gathered three representative cases that demonstrate the effectiveness of the technology under challenging conditions, with different crop protection approaches and across different field areas.

Conditions:

320 ha of sunflower

Growth stage — BBCH 63 (flowering)

Application: fungicide + biostimulant

Equipment: DJI Agras T30

Application volume: 12 L/ha

Result:

After the rain, the soil was unsuitable for machinery entry. Thanks to the agri-drone, the treatment was carried out on time without damaging the crops.

Feedback:

“The neighboring farm could not enter the field after the rain. We completed the treatment on time and preserved the potential of our yield.”

Conditions:

840 ha of sunflower

Full crop protection system: 4 agri-drone applications

Result:

Compared to the control plot — +4.5 c/ha in yield.

Financial result:

Cost of the crop protection system — UAH 1,280/ha

Additional profit — +UAH 5,250/ha

Conclusion:

A full crop protection system using agri-drones is not an expense, but a direct investment in results.

Conditions:

500 ha of sunflower

Insecticide application with an agri-drone

Result:

Thanks to timely treatment, the farm managed to avoid losses and preserve a harvest worth UAH 1.9 million.

Feedback:

“We calculated the preserved yield and found that its value amounted to UAH 1.9 million. This was significantly more than what we spent on drone services, and even later on transporting the increased harvest.”
