Agrodrone Expands Licensed Aerial Application Across Bay of Plenty and Waikato

Agrodrone has expanded its licensed aerial application services across Bay of Plenty and Waikato, offering rapid turnarounds for weed control, desiccation, pasture seeding, and fertiliser and lime spreading. The company’s fleet is operated by certified pilots with a focus on low drift, accurate rates, and minimal crop damage on steep or wet ground.

Services now extend beyond farms to include orchards, lifestyle blocks, reserves, and council land, as well as non-crop work such as roof treatments and building washing where safe access is a challenge. Applications cover herbicides, fungicides, and desiccation for crops and horticulture, alongside pasture broadcasting and variable-rate jobs informed by on-site needs.

Programmes can be scheduled for broadacre and pasture work, with spot and emergency call-outs available when ground access is limited. “Growers and land managers want consistent coverage, less waste, and minimal disruption,” said an Agrodrone spokesperson. “Our service is shaped around precise application and clear rates so clients can continue with the season.”

Agrodrone’s licensed drone spraying service is designed for hill country, soft soils, and sensitive areas near waterways, helping reduce off-target spray while maintaining application quality. For arable, pasture, and property management clients comparing options, the company provides detail on equipment, methods, and typical use cases for its crop spraying drones, including desiccation timing and spot work.
