DJI is the world’s leading drone manufacturer and developer, producing equipment for recreational, commercial, industrial, agricultural and defense applications. As a major IT distributor in the Hungarian market, HRP Europe Kft. offers our partners the full range of DJI agricultural and enterprise products, as well as presales, consulting and educational services for DJI tools and solutions. In our dedicated service center, we also handle warranty and out-of-warranty issues, and our experienced colleagues are committed to return their device to the users as quickly as possible, in perfect working order. In our portfolio, everyone can find the drone solution that suits them, ranging from agricultural and professional use to industrial applications, including accessories as well.
Benefits of Agricultural Drones
Why Should You Use an Agricultural Drone?
For those keen on precision farming, the fact that drones have enormous potential for agricultural use is nothing new. Today, drones are used not only for taking photos and videos, but also for actual work.
We have taken a look why not only landowners with large areas, but also farmers with a more modest plot of land should consider purchasing a drone with the right capabilities, or even renting a drone as a service offered by professional operators.
1
Taking High-Resolution Images
Creating accurate and specific aerial imagery maps with the help of drones is now much more cost-effective, faster, more precise and easier to accomplish. With drones equipped with high-precision GPS as well as RTK modules, you can photograph exactly the same area over time (even hourly, daily, weekly, monthly) along the same coordinates. The drones can fly this route on their own, without the need for manual guidance. By stitching the images together, the software creates a high-precision orthophoto that can form the basis of precision farming.

The Role of Drones in Damage Assessment
Drones can help to assess the damage caused by various natural forces. Advanced sensors built into drones may also be able to estimate the extent of damage caused on our farmland by wildlife, storm or other natural forces. And there’s more! State-of-the-art drones can not only make area-based estimates, but can also use machine learning to calculate the number of missing or denuded plants! This data might also be used in insurance procedures.

Environmental Status Assessment
using Drones
With the help of the footage taken by agricultural drones, we can take our precision farming to a new level. Not only can we monitor the progress of each phase of work on our land, but also draw specific conclusions, by assessing the impact of operations, and continuously refine our previous vision. The studies carried out may reveal things that you did not think would affect the yield of your farm. All in all, drones can save time, fertilizer, spraying agent, manpower and fuel, while increasing the yield and thus potentially the income of your farm.

Improving the Health of Plant Culture
Drones enable us to monitor the health of the entire biomass continuously, since we can even use them for plant vegetation analysis (NVDI). They are able to detect pests, and also discover diseases in time, while they are still treatable. In addition to nutrient supply, they can also detect water deficiency or excess water. With the help of the collected data, you can create the optimum condition for your plants, estimate yield, monitor ripening processes, and also improve spraying and irrigation.

Spraying using Drones
The latest trend is to use drones not only for taking images, but also for spraying, typically in areas where it would be difficult for conventional heavy machinery to do its job. Therefore, drones are not meant to replace, but to supplement traditional spraying methods. Robust drones equipped with tanks can dramatically increase the efficiency of spraying by using their sensors to detect plants and plant parts, and deliver the spray only to the desired parts. The spraying task can not only be remotely controlled, but also automated.

Application of Granular Material
Many people are unaware of this, but spraying drones can be used for more than just delivering liquid phytosanitary products. Agricultural drones can be used in a variety of applications, such as reseeding grassland, spreading granular fertilizer, and spreading feed for aquatic animals such as fish and shrimp. Installing the special spreading system, usually available separately, takes only a few minutes, making it extremely easy for modern farmers to implement it.
