Spray Drones in Agriculture: SKY53 Innovation for Sustainable and Precise Cultivation

Modern agriculture requires advanced tools to address the challenges of sustainable production, and SKY53, with

based in Chiasso, Switzerland, is a leader in the field of precision agriculture. Thanks to its experience and innovative technologies such as multispectral sensors, SKY53 allows you to monitor the health status of crops through vigor maps and 3D maps, improving land management and productivity.

One of the most revolutionary tools introduced by SKY53 is the P100Pro spray drone, designed for automated phytosanitary treatments with precision and safety. Equipped with tanks for liquids and granular products, the drone is capable of treating one hectare of land in less than an hour, making it an extremely effective option for the application of pesticides, foliar fertilizers, or organic products, on crops that are difficult to access. Upon take-off, the P100Pro UAV drone moves approximately 98 cubic meters of air per second, bringing all the product directly to the target on the leaves for optimal application.

Technical Features of the P100Pro Spray Drone

The P100Pro Spray drone features an advanced liquid dispensing system, which includes:

50 litre tank for liquids and 80 litres for granular materials.

Adjustable spray system with a flow rate of 1 to 22 litres per minute and a spray width of 5 to 10 metres.

Anti-clogging centrifugal nozzles that create an umbrella-shaped spray, with the possibility of varying the size of the drops from 50 to 400 µm even in flight, minimizing drift and ensuring uniform coverage. 4D dynamic flight safety with IP67 certified water resistance, making it suitable for operating in variable conditions.

Flight cycle times vary between 6 and 17 minutes, with a maximum speed of 13.8 m/s.

Advantages of SKY53 Spray Drones

1. Operator Safety: By using the spray drone, operators can maintain a safe distance, reducing the risk of exposure to hazardous chemicals and improving safety in the field.
2. Soil Protection: The drone avoids soil compaction, a common problem in traditional treatments, preserving soil structure and preventing the spread of harmful pathogens.
3. Timely Application: Treatments can be carried out immediately after rainfall, reducing the risk of disease outbreaks and improving crop health and quality.
4. Fast and Efficient Treatment: Ideal for vineyards and other difficult-to-access crops, the drone increases operational efficiency by reducing the time and effort required for treatments.
5. Reduction of Treatment Times : The P100Pro drone can treat up to one hectare of land in less than 45 minutes, thus optimizing costs and operations, making the distribution of specific products more accessible in precision farming contexts.

These advantages make the SKY53 spray drone a cutting-edge solution for modern agriculture, bringing innovation and precision directly into the fields. SKY53 is also available to provide technical support for the documentation required to obtain flight authorizations, even in Italy, facilitating the adoption of this advanced technology abroad.
