Smart drone solutions for farms, conservation land, and beyond.

Our Services

Precision Spraying

Targeted application of fertilisers, herbicides, and nutrients using drone technology — reducing waste, protecting nearby ecosystems, and promoting healthier crops or vegetation.

Aerial Mapping & Imaging

High-resolution aerial data for surveying, monitoring, and planning. Gain real-time insight into plant health, land use, or environmental conditions — all from above.

Seeding

Need to reseed after rough weather? Our drone service is fast, cost-effective, and ideal for pastures or cover crops—even on wet or damaged ground.

Custom Solutions

We understand every landscape is different. Whether it’s a hard-to-reach gully, a native planting site, or a large-scale farm, we tailor drone services to fit your goals and the environment.

Built for Real-World Farming

Smarter Spraying with Agras Drones

No Soil Compaction

Get on the paddock sooner—even when it’s too wet for ground rigs. Our drones spray from the air, so your soil stays untouched.

No Crop Damage

No more tram tracks or crushed plants. Aerial application protects your yield and keeps your rows clean.

Better Canopy Coverage

The drone’s downdraft pushes spray deep into the canopy—ideal for targeting pests and disease where it matters most.

Highly Accurate Application

RTK GPS gives us sub-2cm accuracy. That means consistent coverage, less waste, and better results.

Fast & Efficient

We operate at optimal speeds (21–26 km/h) to cover ground quickly and ensure good penetration with every pass.

Adjustable Spray Quality

Instantly change droplet size (50–500 microns) to match the crop stage, weather, and chemical—right there on site

Powered by Technology, Grounded to the land
