Crop spraying drones will be showing up to work in South African fields.
This is the first time a crop-spraying drone has passed South African Civil Aviation regulations, proving that crop spraying drones can be operated safely and in accordance with the rules when it comes to commercial licenses.
Drones can help farming communities that struggle to pay the costs of high-volume aerial application crop spraying.
The drone successfully applied chemicals at a rate of 30 litres per hour. In 1.5 hours it covered an approximate area of 6 hectares.
