Spraying is a fundamental agricultural operation, used for the dispersion of both pesticides and fertilisers over trees and crops, directly affecting the volume and quality of agricultural yield; however, spraying is subjected to limitations with respect to safety regulations, water consumption and droplet cloud drift. An emerging agricultural trend is referring to drone spraying operations, offering prominent and unique advantages such as speed of operation, applicability to almost every type of ground and crops, and significant saving in water and pesticides/fertilisers.
