Precision agriculture, powered by drone technology
Drone spraying is transforming UK agriculture by offering speed, precision and environmental benefits. With AutoSpray Systems’ CAA‑approved operators using the XAG P100 Pro, farms can now apply products accurately where needed, avoiding tramline damage and soil compaction. This technology provides a flexible solution for wet, hard-to-access fields and time-sensitive operations.
Driving innovation in agricultural drone use
AutoSpray Systems is at the forefront of pioneering responsible drone use, helping to shape the future of agriculture by testing new ideas in real-world settings. Our work is driven by innovation and focused on delivering tangible results for farmers and agronomists.
We are proud to have delivered key milestones that have moved the sector forward, including the first CAA-approved commercial application of slug pellets by drone in the UK, helping farmers to reduce pesticide overuse and minimise ground disturbance. We also lead the way with late-season pod sealant applications, cover crop establishment, and precision foliar feeding, supporting arable farms across cereals, pulses, oilseed rape and more.
Common agricultural applications
-
Slug Pellet Application
Treat slug-prone areas like wet headlands with a precise and even application, without over-broadcasting product. Our UK-first approval set the benchmark for safe, compliant drone use in molluscicide application.
-
Foliar Feeding & Nutrient Top‑Ups
Apply trace elements or foliar nutrition quickly and evenly when conventional equipment can’t access the crop due to soil conditions or late growth stages.
-
Pod Sealants
Our team supported the first drone-applied pod sealant trials in the UK. This allowed pulses and OSR to be treated efficiently before harvest, with no mechanical damage to standing crops.
-
Cover Crop Seeding & Starter Fertilisers
Apply seed or fertiliser with precision into stubble or between crops, ideal for narrow windows or environmentally sensitive fields.
-
Field‑Edge & Spot Treatments
Perfect for awkward corners, small patches or rescue applications, where ground sprayers are inefficient or risk crop damage.
Innovation & authorisation
AutoSpray Systems pioneered real-world drift data for the UK, creating the evidence base that enabled the HSE to approve drone-based pesticide application. We now operate under a bespoke Operational Authorisation, allowing our pilots to legally apply products from drones over 25 kg in real-world, commercial settings.
We work closely with farmers, contractors and agronomists to ensure each job is fully compliant, fully documented and fully effective.
