The advantages of using drones as the tool to spray chemical are obvious.  As the battery technology improves and drone payload increases, drone sprayer will undoubtedly become a universal equipment for agrochemical application, especially in nations where there are more small holder farms.  Smaller farm plots with various type of crops demands more flexible and variable spraying service, which has been provided by manual labour or small machinery conventionally.

Growers usually rely on their own experience in diagnosing pests and diseases, in decision making on what to spray, and pay a premium to the distributions network which delivers the agrochemicals and the spraying job.  This will all be changed by the application of drones in chemical spraying service.

A highly automated and digitised tool, drones will not only replace knapsacks or tractors as the spraying machinery, it can be linked to a platform through which information on crops, pest and disease, agrochemical supply, spraying service needs and providers can be all linked to provide a on-demand service to the grower’s need.
