Smart agriculture is here.

DJI Agras - Faster And Safer Than Manual Methods

Farming drones have revolutionised agriculture - providing key insights to help with crop protection, seeding, irrigation management, and crop-health management.    

The DJI Agras range of agriculture drones has helped pioneer the smart agriculture revolution - making low production and time-consuming farming operations a thing of the past.           

These intelligent aircraft are engineered for crop spraying - covering large areas quickly and precisely.  

With high-capacity tanks, DJI Agras drones can be used for accurate variable rate application of liquid pesticides, fertilisers, and herbicides. When integrated with advanced spreading systems, drones in the Agras series can also spray solid particles.

Key Benefits Of DJI Agras

  • Efficient: Complete with large spray tanks and multiple pumps and sprinklers, the DJI Agras Series is more efficient than manual methods. For instance, the Agras MG-1P can cover up to 500 acres a day, compared to 10 acres using traditional methods.
  • Precise: DJI Agras drones spray more accurately and evenly thanks to their automated features and spraying systems.
  • Swarm: Both the T16 and MG-1P drones can swarm in groups of five to help cover even larger areas more quickly than before.       
  • Versatile: The Agras range can be deployed for multiple application scenarios, such as grassland reseeding, granular fertiliser spreading, and spreading food for aquatic animals.                
  • Ease of Operation: These drones can effortlessly operate over challenging terrain, which is typically hard for large machines, trucks, or on-the-ground workers to cover. 
  • Safe: Deploying Agras crop spraying drones cuts hand-held sprayer operators’ exposure to harmful pesticides.
  • Environmentally Friendly: Agras drones save chemicals and water, which effectively minimises the risk of chemical run-off and ensures the conservation of water resources. They are also non-evasive and non-contact, so there's no interference with already planted crops.

Want Efficiency And Accuracy? Then Pick A Drone           

This table provides a breakdown of the benefits in real terms of deploying a DJI Agras drone over traditional methods, in terms of efficiency, safety, and control. This example is based on the DJI Agras MG-1P, but provides a snapshot of the overall benefits when deploying any drone in the Agras series - especially as the Agras T16 has an even greayer spraying capacity. 

Manual Methods

DJI Agras MG-1P

Efficiency

7-10 acres a day

Up to 500 acres a day

Work Standardisation

Manual planning

Coordinate with the positioning system to carry out path planning and improve work efficiency.
Pesticide Type

Common pesticides

Supports special aviation chemicals, high utilisation rate, can save more than 20% of pesticides.

Control Effect
It is easy to leak or re-spray and has low pesticide penetration.
Due to the low efficiency of work, it is difficult to carry out large-area protection in a short period of time, which is not suitable for unified control.
The pesticide is sprayed uniformly and has good penetration due to the downwards wind stream from the aircraft. 
Can carry out large-area operations in a short period of time.

Safety

Workers are very close to pesticides, which is a serious hazard to health. Manual workers also have to carry heavy backpacks and may have to access difficult areas.

The worker is separated from the pesticide. The drone can reach hard-to-access areas.

DJI AGRAS CASE STUDIES     

A look at how these drones are helping agriculture.

Transforming Vineyard Management

DJI  Agras drones have transformed vineyard management.

The unprecedented topography friendly drones and the automated operation have made vineyard spraying an easy and visible workflow.

Remote Vision is one company deploying DJI Agras drones for vineyard management, flying the MG-1P and T16 in Switzerland.

Tasked with preventing disease, the Agras drones are filled with a range of chemicals to protect the vines from the spread of powdery mildew and other fungal diseases.

The Agras drones can spray 100 litres per hectare and are able to target steep hills which are difficult to access by using a tractor.

"The client has compared drone spraying with earlier tractor spraying. The client is happy with drone spraying for a number of reasons, including no personal contact with pesticides, there is no phytotoxicity, and the DJI Agras is much more efficient over steep terrain." 

Ueli Sager, Remote Vision

Protecting Vital Crops

The DJI MG-1P RTK plant protection drones have become a fast, accurate, and reliable option for weed control.

By implementing them during weeding, farmers can ensure they are covering a larger area in a shorter time.

Zhucheng Den ong Trading Co Ltd has been deploying DJI Agras drones since 2016, and has used the MG-1P RTK to  spray Arylex across  400mu  wheat fields .

The drone was flown 1.5 metres off the ground and was able to cover four metres per second, resulting in a fast and incredibly targeted means of spraying.

The company says that this drone provides an e fficient  and precise method of spraying. Using the drone to spray  Arylex,  the  positive results were  apparent  on the seventh  day, with no h arm to the wheat.

Alternative Use Cases for DJI Agras 

DJI Agras And Disease Control

While the DJI Agras series was engineered for agriculture, these versatile and reliable drones have also proved useful in missions outside of farming. 

DJI Agras And The Coronavirus

Following the coronavirus outbreak, the DJI Agras drones were adapted to spray disinfectant in potentially affected areas throughout China.

Drones were useful in this situation as they could cover ground far quicker than traditional methods, and reduced the risk to workers by not exposing them to the virus and the disinfectant.

The DJI Agras drones were filled with disinfectant and sprayed more than 3 million square metres in Shenzhen. 

As part of the fight against the coronavirus, DJI worked with other areas in China to adopt the spraying method, targeting key areas such as factories, hospitals, and residential areas.

Thanks to DJI Agras drones, spraying efficiency was increased 50 times faster than traditional methods.

DJI Agras Used To Stop Malaria Spread

The Agras MG-1S drone was used as part of a trial to spread an environmentally-safe biological control agent on some of Zanzibar's large-scale irrigated rice paddies, to try to fight malaria.

Spraying is an effective solution to try to combat the deadly disease, but traditional methods have their limitations: Planes and helicotpers are too expensive, while hand-spraying is too time-consuming.

Drones, such as the DJI Agras, provide the ideal alternative: They can be filled with solution, are a low cost, reliable, and precise option, and can cover large areas quickly.

Four weeks after the Agras drones were used, the number of mosquitoes in the areas targeted remained close to zero.
