Our services
Drone applications for farms, growers and land managers.
Have a specialist application in mind?
From vineyards and forestry to solar sites and conservation projects, tell us what you need to apply. We’ll assess whether a drone is suitable.
Carry out applications when ground conditions, crop height or access make conventional machinery difficult
We use agricultural drones to help farmers and land managers carry out spraying, spreading and crop monitoring more efficiently. Drones can be particularly useful where ground conditions are poor, access is difficult, or where avoiding damage to the crop and soil is important.
​
They also allow applications to be completed quickly when there is only a short weather window available.
Uses Less Water
Drone applications can often be carried out using much lower water volumes than conventional spraying methods, depending on the product and application.
​
This means less water to transport and handle on site, while still providing accurate coverage where required.
Covers Ground Quickly
Drones can cover large areas efficiently, making them useful when applications need to be completed within a limited weather window.
​
Depending on the application rate, field layout and site conditions, coverage can be as high as 19 hectares per hour.
No Crop Damage or Soil Compaction
Because the drone operates above the crop, there is no machinery travelling through the field.
​
This helps avoid crop trampling, soil compaction and additional wheelings, and also means work can often continue when ground conditions are too wet for conventional machinery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are drone operations safe and legal?
Yes. Apex Agri Systems is fully CAA certified and insured. We follow strict safety protocols, including multi-sensor obstacle avoidance and emergency failsafes, ensuring total safety for your land, assets, and staff.
How does the drone spraying process work?
It begins with a digital mapping flight to identify terrain and boundaries. Our autonomous drones then apply treatments with controlled droplet atomisation, ensuring uniform coverage with zero crop damage or soil compaction.
What are your rates and minimum job size?
We offer competitive, transparent pricing based on acreage and application type. While we have a minimum job size for operational efficiency, we scale our services for farmers, estate managers, and contractors alike. Contact us for a quote.
Is my field data and mapping kept private?
Absolutely. All mapping and multi-spectral data is encrypted and stored securely. We provide high-resolution mapping outputs exclusively to you, helping you maintain detailed records for compliance and performance analysis.
What is your service area and coverage?
Apex Agri Systems operates nationwide. We specialise in rural agricultural estates, bringing precision technology to hard-to-reach fields, greenhouses, and infrastructure across the country.
