Question 1

Why should I prefer spraying with agricultural drone instead of tractor?

Accepted Answer

Agricultural drones, especially models such as the CT110, offer a much more homogeneous, faster and more effective application than tractors. While the ruts left by tractors on the field cause loss of productivity, drones do not come into physical contact with the product and do not compress the soil by applying from the air. It also significantly reduces costs by saving water, fuel and chemical usage.

Question 2

Is drone spraying effective on garden plants and trees?

Accepted Answer

Definitely. Drones deliver the medicine to all leaves with the effect of turbulence from the tops of the trees downwards. In densely planted areas or rough terrains where the tractor has difficulty entering, the CT110's sensitive spraying technology effectively combats diseases and pests.

Question 3

Which field crops can be chemically controlled?

Accepted Answer

It can be applied to almost all field crops, especially wheat, corn, cotton, sunflower, paddy and barley. Success rate; It depends on the right plant, the right timing and the use of the drone with appropriate parameters (speed, flow rate).

Question 4

What should be taken into consideration when applying herbicides, fungicides and insecticides with drones?

Accepted Answer

Depending on the application type, the following parameters are critical:
Herbicide: It should be applied with at least 1 liter of water per decare in windless weather (maximum 5 m/s) and should not be mixed with other pesticides.
Fungicide: It should be applied with at least 2 liters of water per decare when the weather is 15-25°C. Flight speed should be adjusted depending on whether the drug is protective or systemic.
Insecticide: The height should be adjusted according to the contact or systemic effect of the drug. The temperature range of 15-25°C is ideal.

Question 5

Can solid fertilizer, seeds or shade powder be thrown by drone?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Thanks to the solid spreading tanks installed on advanced drones such as CT110, seeds such as granulated fertilizer and rice can be spread precisely in the desired kilogram per decare. Additionally, shade powder used for temperature control in greenhouses can be applied homogeneously.

Question 6

Areas in need of irrigation can be determined and unnecessary water use is prevented. Thus, farmers save significant money in terms of both time and cost.

Question 21

What is the difference between spraying with drone and spraying with tractor?

Accepted Answer

In traditional spraying methods using tractors or manpower, the application efficiency generally remains around 40%. Spraying with agricultural drones can increase this rate to 90%.

Since no vehicles enter the field during drone spraying, the plants are not crushed and there is no crop loss. In addition, since an agricultural drone can spray hundreds of decares of land per day in a short time, the operation time is seriously shortened.

Question 22

How much does drone spraying increase efficiency?

Accepted Answer

Agricultural drones can save 35–45% of pesticides thanks to precision spraying technologies. In traditional methods, this saving rate generally remains around 30%.
