Drone spreading provides a more accurate and efficient way to apply seeds, solid fertiliser and insect baits across agricultural land in Northland. GPS and RTK-guided systems ensure consistent application rates while reducing waste and improving coverage across your land.
Drone fertiliser spreading delivers practical advantages across farms, orchards and rural land:
Ideal for applying solid fertiliser, grass seed and insect baits, drone fertiliser spreading is a cost-effective alternative to traditional top dressers and tractor systems.
Steep, unstable or difficult-to-access terrain can be treated without risk of machinery getting stuck or leaving tracks through the land. This helps protect soil structure while improving operational safety and efficiency.
Precision application with a drone prevents seeds and granules from entering non-target areas and waterways, ensuring inputs are delivered only where they are needed. This improves land use efficiency and reduces unnecessary input costs.
Our drone can transport heavy loads where access is difficult – over hills, across valleys, and into hard-to-reach areas.

It is suitable for pasture, hill country, orchards and areas that are difficult or unsafe for machinery access.
Yes, it is well suited to wet, soft or unstable ground where machinery may struggle or cause damage and reduces human operator risk.
Yes, application rates are set accurately for consistent and controlled distribution. The drone can apply products at various rates depending on the job, from as little as 3kg to over a ton per hectare.
No, there is minimal disruption. Operations are low noise compared to helicopters and do not require heavy machinery on the ground.
Highly accurate. RTK-guidance allows precise application around waterways, exclusion zones and boundary lines.
Coverage rate varies across different jobs and is dependent on the application rate, application type and terrain.
Drone spreading is suitable for solid fertiliser, grass seed and insect baits used in agricultural and land management applications.
Drone spreading reduces safety risks, ground impact, avoids machinery getting stuck, and provides more accurate application on steep or difficult terrain.
