Overview
Agri is a 40-liter precision agricultural spray drone built for row-crop, orchard, and vineyard operators in the American Midwest, Southeast, and California Central Valley. Dual radar (forward + downward), centrifugal atomizers, and AI-driven coverage planning deliver 16+ acres of treated area per hour while saving 30–50% on chemical input versus boom spray. Optional spreader hopper for seed, fertilizer, or cover crop.
Mission Profile
- Row-crop herbicide / fungicide / insecticide application (corn, soy, wheat, cotton, rice)
- Orchard and vineyard spot spray
- Cover-crop and seed broadcast (with spreader)
- Mosquito / public-health ULV application
