As we can see that more and more farms around the world choosing smart, digitally enabled agricultural drones as their tool of choice to obtain high-quality crops, increase efficiency and bring benefits to farm businesses through this sustainable technology More profit.
This technology can not only greatly reduce the use of pesticides and make the dosage of pesticides more precise, but also the high-efficiency battery technology can greatly help reduce the use of fuel, thus reducing the burden on farmers.
Every farm faces different crop pressures. How can drones help farmers in some specific problems? We have summarized the following frequently asked questions, hope it helps.
Difference between drone controlled by a phone or a remote
Behind each of our growers there is a big family to support, as well as various farm expenses and now the high carbon tax. We want you to be successful and spend money wisely. Check this link out for the difference between drone controlled by a phone or a remote.
Work Efficiency
The spray width and droplet size of the T40 can be adjusted on the remote control.
1) You don’t need to change nozzles!
2) Its working efficiency is 25-30Acres/H. After firmware upgrade, it is 35-40Acres/H.

Difference of AG Drone Batteries
The battery of a drone is an important part of the drone. You may have noticed that there are currently high-performance lithium batteries and air-cooling technology represented by DJI on the market. At the same time, you may also see that some drones use mist-cooled batteries.

Difference of atomized centrifugal nozzle
Centrifugal sprinklers have been on the market for many years but are not popular because they cannot effectively control droplet size and dripping.
DJI uses a dual atomizing centrifugal nozzle developed and designed by itself, and adds a centrifugal control valve to the T40, which not only makes the mist droplets evenly distributed, but also avoids dripping. （Picture in the middle) Therefore, drones that can spray water cannot be called agricultural drones.
Why do DJI drone sprayer use less water and less chemicals to achieve the same effect?
DJI’s professionally designed multi-rotor downforce wind field allows mist droplets to be evenly sprayed on crops and the backs of leaves, avoiding waste on products and greatly improving pesticide utilization. While achieving the same results, the overall use of water and chemicals is reduced and as well as the impact to the environment. sprayers101.com/drone-soybean/
Is that drones that can spray water are called agricultural drones?
Certainly not. The DJI Ag drone has undergone rigorous coverage testing and particle size testing. Its spray width, uniformity and wind field pressure must be qualified. If the spraying is uneven or repeated spraying will cause a lot of trouble. Too much down-pressure wind field will cause crops logging.
Is the DJI Agras T40 drone accurate?
DJI Agras T40 uses RTK satellite positioning technology, and the accuracy of the flight path can reach centimeter level.
You don’t need to calculate by yourself, you just need to select the field that needs to be operated, input the required amount of each acre, the required spray width, and the remote will help you automatically calculate the total amount required and the time required to complete the work fully autonomously.
How wide is the T40 drone spray swath?
The T40 adopts a coaxial dual-rotor structure, and the powerful down-pressure wind field helps the atomized liquid to disperse evenly and distribute in a wider range than its actual size. You can choose the desired width on the remote control, from 12ft-33ft.
How do DJI Agras drone controls drift?
Many people actually didn’t aware that DJI is the only drone company in the industry has wind field analysis lab to make sure the drift can be controlled in a satisfied range.
Can it be used to spray fruit trees?
Tree spraying has always been a challenge. The superior design and performance of DJI Agras drones make this easy. In particular, the powerful downward rotating airflow generated by the scientifically designed rotor can reduce the spread of droplets, and at the same time, the upward airflow generated by the downward rotating airflow can deposit pesticide droplets directly on the front and back of plant leaves.
These seemingly simple data condensed countless laboratory and field experiments, which is a remarkable and extraordinary achievement.
Can I use DJI Agras Drone to spread seeds?
Yes, you can spread Solid dry particles with a diameter of 0.5 to 5 mm.
To spread the urea fertilizer, the work efficiency is 1ton/hour.
What happens when the T40 drone encounters an obstacle? is it safe?
There are two types of obstacle avoidance functions for the T40 drone, which are orbiting and hovering. You can set them on the remote control yourself. This automatic obstacle avoidance system can avoid obstacles in the flight path in time, greatly reducing various losses caused by operational errors.
When did drones become popular?
This is the first upgraded version of DJI’s spraying drone. The video was taken in 2017. DJI agricultural drones are committed to high efficiency, low cost, easy operation, and safety have always been DJI’s consistent and pursue. DJI AG drones revolutionized the way farmers use drones to manage and care for crops.
How many T40 drones can one person operate at a time?
One at a time, which accordoing to DJI Agras T40 drone system’s design.
How does it handle border spraying?
Intelligent route planning and RTK precision positioning (2.47cm) make your farmland will not miss the boundary area, thereby reducing the occurrence of pests and diseases.
The picture on the left is sprayed by a DJI drone (you can see a beautiful border), and the picture on the right is sprayed by a helicopter (with a large buffer area)
How was the testing of the DJI AG drones carried out?
DJI stated that it is not enough to look at the data on paper, and the final product depends on the actual effect. Therefore, DJI has conducted more than 2,000 tests on the each of agriculture drone, each with 25 test papers, and the actual test processed a total of more than 50,000 test papers.
Is that easy to operate the DJI Agras drone?
DJI drone sprayer is equipped with a user-friendly control interface through its powerful technical support, making operation simple and intuitive. Ordinary farmers can operate it easily.
How long does it take to charge the battery?
It takes about 9-12 minutes to charge a T40 battery.
Does charging use the office power supply or does it require a generator? Will I save fuel?
There is no problem with both charging methods. If a generator is used, according to previous customer calculations, it can save about 60-70% of fuel compared to a tractor.
Marcus Bulstrode, from the Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries, talks about trialing drone-based technologies to manage weeds in sugarcane farming systems. The trial combines drone mapping technology with spot spraying of weeds. The spray drone can precisely target weeds thereby reducing pesticide use and limiting the potential for herbicide runoff.

Using drones to save on pesticide costs and loss
Can drones be operated indoors (such as greenhouses) or under shaded structures?
It is not recommended to use indoors (shading structure). Because there are so many obstacles (pillars). But it can be used as a spraying job for removing paint on the roof of a greenhouse.
.
My land is a rolling field, how to set the flying altitude of the aircraft?
The altitude radar can automatically detect the altitude between the aircraft and the land/crop canopy, imitating the terrain for flying operations.
Can I use the remote control aircraft to spot spray the outbreak area?
Yes, you can manually operate the drone to do spot spray over the area.
Can I buy a drone for my relatives in other countries to use?
Because the radio frequency management regulations difference in each country. Our Canadian version of plant protection drones can only be used within Canada.
Due to the different country codes, please be sure to buy your drone from DJI authorized agricultural drone distributors.
