WHAT IS A SPRAYING DRONE AND SHOULD YOU USE ONE?

Definition and real-life applications

A spraying drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) programmed to spray pesticides, fertilizers, or plant protection products. Operating autonomously or semi-autonomously, these drones reduce treatment time over large areas and minimize human exposure to harmful chemicals.

Today, agricultural drones are widely used on rice fields, fruit farms, and vegetable plots across Vietnam thanks to their cost-saving and labor-efficiency benefits.

Advantages over manual spraying

Compared to traditional methods, spraying drones offer significant advantages:

• Accurate and uniform spraying with minimal waste
• Up to 80% faster coverage on large fields
• Less exposure to harmful chemicals
• Reduced labor costs and long-term savings
• Operates effectively in hard-to-reach areas

This makes them a smart agriculture solution embraced by many cooperatives and large farms.

Should small farms invest?

Even if you run a small farm, investing in a crop-spraying drone may still be worth it if:

• Your cultivated area exceeds 2 hectares
• You spray pesticides 2–3 times per month
• You can share costs with neighbors or a cooperative

In such cases, affordable spraying drones or domestic UAV models are ideal for reducing initial investment costs.

POPULAR TYPES OF SPRAYING DRONES

Based on tank capacity

Spraying drones are generally classified by tank volume:

• Small (5–10L): Ideal for small fields and maneuverability
• Medium (15–20L): Balanced between capacity and mobility
• Large (30L+): Designed for wide-area spraying on large farms

Based on manufacturer

Notable spraying drone brands in Vietnam:

• DJI: Market leader known for DJI Agras T20P, T40, T50 series
• XAG: Popular for AI-powered precision and smart sensors
• Vietnamese domestic brands: Budget-friendly, easy to repair, widely available spare parts
