DJI agricultural drones are modern agricultural equipment based on artificial intelligence technology and accurate digital computing power.
You only need to simply enter the sowing parameters you need, set the opening size of the spreading tank, use seeds between 0.5mm-5mm, and its rate is very accurate. For sowing small seeds, clover seeds, alfalfa radish, mixing with large-seed grass or rye, granular urea is no problem.
Sowing red clover into winter wheat is not only beneficial to soil health and structure but also increases the yield of other crops in the rotation. The seeds will germinate well at lower temperatures, which makes it ideal for planting clover into winter wheat in early spring.
The general method of spreading clover is to use an ATV with a rotating spreader to avoid compaction. Generally, growers sow red clover at a weight of 8 to 10 lbs/acre.
After the spring snow melted, the land was very wet and soft, and large machinery could not enter it.
In March of this year, we used the DJI T20 2-in-1 spraying/spreading drone to spread clover in the air in winter wheat.

Customer’s review: In this video, the DJI AGRAS T20 UAS (drone) launches loaded with Red clover seed returns to where it left after returning to reload with seed and fresh battery to make a few 15 foot wide passes back forth to finish off a 4-acre field of #pioneerseeds #25R74 winter wheat on March 27th, 2021.
The field boundaries had been entered on the controller using the satellite imagery on the touch screen. The downdraft from the UAS is quite impressive and undoubtedly negated any impact of the light breeze of 5 knots..
The seed distribution appeared to be good. The field was too wet to be passable by ground rig as we had 2″ of rain two nights before the flight.
