Drone herbicide application has several advantages over land-based spraying. Drone sprayers are better able to access areas that ground spraying equipment cannot, especially where terrain is steep, uneven, or inaccessible. Drone sprayers are also less likely than ground equipment to damage the area or crops. Unlike traditional tractors, drones can spray crops more precisely. They can be programmed to spray an even amount of liquid in all necessary sections, which also eliminates the risk of overdosing an area with herbicide.
