flag Australian farmers are adopting spray drones to cut costs, boost efficiency, and reduce chemical use.

flag Australian farmers are rapidly adopting agricultural spray drones, drawn by lower costs—$28,000 to $60,000—compared to traditional ground rigs, and their ability to spray during critical windows regardless of terrain or weather. flag Drones like the DJI Agras T100, carrying up to 75 liters, cover 25–30 hectares per hour, with some completing over 200 hectares daily. flag Equipped with LiDAR and precise navigation, they reduce drift, improve chemical penetration, and minimize soil compaction, leading to up to a 30% reduction in herbicide use and potential yield gains. flag Used increasingly in irrigated and steep areas, drones are now seen as essential complements to ground equipment, with around 2,600 in use and nearly 1,000 sold in 2025 alone.
