Disease Management (Fungicide)
Timely, precise fungicide applications when weather windows and disease pressure demand fast action — without waiting for ground rigs or risking canopy damage.
Where it fits
- Orchards and citrus blocks — rust, powdery mildew, and brown rot management without damaging root zones
- Vineyards — botrytis and downy mildew programmes timed to growth stage
- Golf courses and sports turf — brown patch, dollar spot, and other turf fungal issues
- Broadacre crops — stripe rust, septoria, and other aerial diseases in cereals
- Sugarcane — smut and other foliar disease management at appropriate growth stages
Our approach
Disease management is time-sensitive. We prioritise fast mobilisation and plan jobs with your agronomist’s timing windows in mind. Coverage and droplet size are matched to the crop type — finer droplets for foliar penetration in dense canopy, adjusted flight altitude for taller crops.
All applications are GPS-logged. We can provide spray records on request for compliance or export documentation purposes.
We work to label rates and do not apply chemicals outside their registered use patterns. If a situation requires an off-label permit, we’ll flag it before the job starts.
Frequently asked questions
- Why use a drone instead of a ground rig for fungicide?
- Timing is everything with fungicide — you need to apply at the right growth stage or disease pressure window. Drones can get into wet or waterlogged paddocks without delay, and can cover orchards or vineyards without damaging low canopy or compacting root zones.
- Can you match the coverage ground sprayers achieve in orchards?
- Yes, with appropriate flight parameters. We adjust rotor wash, flight speed and pass spacing to push product into the canopy. For dense tree crops we discuss coverage expectations honestly upfront — aerial application suits some orchard types better than others.
- What diseases can you target?
- Common targets include rust, powdery mildew, botrytis, brown patch on turf, and various broadacre fungal pathogens. We apply the product you specify at label rates — we don't diagnose disease, but we'll apply your agronomist's recommendation accurately.
- Do you carry fungicides?
- No. We are a contract application service — you supply the chemical and specify the rate. We can help calculate volumes needed for your area.
