Drone services available in the South East
Across the South East, drone enquiries span arable, estate and protected-cropping work:
- Spreading and seeding: cover crops, fertiliser and companion seed.
- Greenhouse, polytunnel and vineyard support where access is awkward.
- Mapping and crop scouting: field records and agronomy support.
- Spraying: targeted liquid work where the product, rate and site suit a drone and the operator holds the right permissions.
Local considerations
On large, open fields a ground sprayer is usually cheaper per hectare, so drones tend to suit margins, awkward access, protected cropping and trial work. A good operator will tell you which method suits the job.
Spraying licensed pesticides by drone needs a Health and Safety Executive permit, so for pesticide work ask the operator to explain their permissions before booking.
