Aerial Seeding FAQ

Some of the advantages of using drones for seeding and granular application include:

• Increased efficiency and precision in distributing seeds or granules.

• No contact with other vegetation preventing transfer of weeds.

• Cost-effective: Ag drones can be a cost-effective alternative to traditional seeding methods, especially for small to medium-sized areas. They require less labor and equipment, and can reduce the amount of seed wasted during planting.

• Accessibility: Ag drones can access hard to get at places that traditional methods cannot reach easily such as steep or rugged terrain.
  • Providing not only improved land management but significant increases in safety.
  • Allowing access to areas that are too wet for traditional machinery to drive on.

• No soil compaction or disturbance.

The granule container has a capacity of 60 Litres, with a rated payload of 40kg.

Maximum drone flight speed is up to 13.8 m/s or 49 kmh.

Normal operations would generally be operated around 20-30 kmh.

Flight speed would be adjusted for each operation due to type of product being applied and flight conditions.

Our XAG P100 aerial seeding drone can cover up to 10 hectares per hour.

The actual seeding rate and speed will depend on several factors, including the type of seed being used, the desired planting density, and the environmental conditions.
