Pesticide spraying

Insecticides, fungicides and herbicides registered with the FPA, applied according to the label. FPA Memorandum Circular No. 2024-25 sets the rules for pesticide application by remotely piloted aircraft.

Fertilizer application

Granular and foliar fertilizer, useful for top dressing tall crops like corn and sugarcane.

Crop mapping

Aerial maps show uneven growth, waterlogging and pest hotspots, which helps target where to spray.
