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 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 health hazard. |
The worker is separated from the pesticide and does not need to access hard-to-reach areas. |
Swarm up to five Agras drones at once for enhanced efficiency for single pilot operations.
Since their introduction in 2015, DJI Agras drones have helped change the face of agriculture, especially for crop spraying missions.
Early models such as the Agras MG-1 and Agras MG-1S have been followed by even smarter aircraft, such as the Agras MG-1P and Agras T16, and more recently, the Agras T30 and T10.
DJI Agras drones are deployed around the world, with more than 40,000 active aircraft currently on the market.
Thanks to their large spray-tank capabilities, precise spraying nozzles, enhanced flight redundancies, and a transmission distance covering multiple kilometres, the DJI Agras series offers a comprehensive agricultural management solution.
Operators of the DJI Agras T16 and Agras MG-1P series can also swarm these drones for enhanced efficiency and surface-area coverage. Up to five T16 aircraft can be controlled by a single T16 remote controller simultaneously, while a single MG-1P controller can control up to five MG-1P aircraft at the same time, greatly increasing what a single-pilot can achieve.
DJI Agras are powerful drones for agriculture. But which one in the series is best for your needs? Take a look at the highlights of each model.
As there are a number of Agras drones on the market, which one is best and what are the key differences between them?
The Agras T30 is the most recent Agras drone to be released, so it does have key upgrades, including an enhanced radar system, IP67 waterproofing and dual forwards and backwards FPV cameras.
The DJI Agras are crop spraying drones. So how do these drones compare in that department? As the table shows, the T30 is a far more efficient solution.

The DJI Agras drones can be utilised as one part of a smart agriculture solution.
Thanks to DJI's comprehensive agriculture package, the Agras drones can be used in conjunction with the DJI Phantom 4 RTK mapping drone, or the DJI Phantom 4 Multispectral crop monitoring drone. DJI Terra - a drone mapping software package - can also be utilised in this DJI farming ecosystem to produce agricultural maps from the collected drone data and generate targeted flight paths.
The information below shows how multiple DJI platforms can be brought together to provide an end-to-end precision agriculture package.
Navigating challenging terrain is now easier, thanks to digitised farming methods.
The DJI Phantom 4 RTK can scan and map target areas to identify all aspects of a field and DJI Terra can process this data to create maps and reconstructions for a range of agricultural insights. This information can then be used to deploy the DJI Agras T16 to specific areas.
In Orchard mode, DJI Agras drones can identify each tree, generate 3D flight routes based on their shapes, and conduct efficient spraying.
The DJI eco-system can be harnessed to provide a comprehensive solution to monitor crop health and generate treatment procedures.
Users can access DJI Terra shapefiles and apply them to spraying and seeding operations, carried out by Agras drones.
A look at how these drones are helping agriculture.
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 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 Denong 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 efficient and precise method of spraying. Using the drone to spray Arylex, the positive results were apparent on the seventh day, with no harm to the wheat.
While the DJI Agras series was engineered for agriculture, these versatile and reliable drones have also proved useful in missions outside of farming.
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.
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 helicopters 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.
More information about DJI Agras drones
DJI Agras drones take smart agriculture to another level. These crop-spraying drones are more efficient and precise than traditional methods. To increase efficiency and coverage, the DJI Agras T16 and DJI Agras MG-1P can be swarmed, allowing a single operator to fly up to five at once.
This depends on where in the world you are based. In China, for example, it is, and this method is utilised widely for agriculture.
In the USA, drone spraying is now permitted in many states, provided pilots comply with strict Federal Aviation Administration operational rules as well as separate requirements for aerial applications.
The DJI Agras T16 and MG-1P drones have FPV cameras. What are the advantages of this?
By providing clear video feeds, FPV cameras not only help users to avoid obstacles in the distance, but also records waypoints and A/B points on the flight to replace the less efficient manual waypoint recording.
Although the T16, MG-1P, and Phantom 4 RTK remote controllers have different software, they have similar hardware. If you own an MG-1P or Phantom 4 RTK controller, you can update the software to make it compatible with the T16.
The T16 charger has a maximum output power of 2,600W, supports single-channel quick charging mode, and is capable of fully charging one battery in 20 minutes.
