Explore Our Drone Services
At AGRI-KOTTON, we specialize in drone-powered agricultural solutions tailored for Eswatini’s leading cash crop sugarcane. Our services are designed to increase productivity, sustainability, and precision for both smallholder and large-scale growers across the country.
Sugarcane requires timely and uniform application of herbicides, pesticides, and foliar feeds to ensure optimal growth. Our precision drone spraying service allows for targeted treatment across varied field topographies without damaging the crop or compacting the soil.
Key Benefits for Eswatini Farmers:
- Accurate application in dense and hard-to-reach cane fields.
- Reduced chemical usage and drift, protecting neighboring fields and communities.
- Safe operation near irrigation canals and uneven terrain common in the Lowveld.
- Supports blanket and spot treatments for weeds, pests, and diseases.
This service helps farmers minimize input costs while maximizing crop health and yield consistency.
Understanding your land is key to smart sugarcane farming. Using high-resolution drone mapping, we produce georeferenced orthomaps, 3D terrain models, and elevation profiles to inform field planning and resource allocation.
Our Mapping Services Include:
Accurate plot boundary demarcation to assist with land use, leases, and reporting.
Drainage and slope analysis to optimize water distribution crucial for irrigated cane.
Block layout and road mapping for harvesting logistics.
Digital record-keeping for compliance with Eswatini Sugar Association requirements.
With better maps, growers can plan irrigation, inputs, and harvesting with greater confidence.
Sugarcane can mask early signs of stress, pests, or disease due to its density and height. Our drone-based crop scouting uses multispectral and RGB imaging to detect hidden problems before they escalate.
What We Monitor:
Stalk health and canopy development.
Nutrient deficiencies and chlorosis detection via NDVI and other vegetation indices.
Fungal infections (e.g., rust, smut) and early pest outbreaks (e.g., borers).
Water stress in both rainfed and irrigated plots.
Frequent aerial monitoring ensures timely interventions, supporting better ratooning and overall productivity.
Large sugar estates and outgrower farms rely on key infrastructure like irrigation pivots, pump stations, and storage facilities. Our drone inspections provide safe, efficient assessments without interrupting operations.
We Inspect:
Irrigation systems for leaks, misalignments, or blockages.
Silos, barns, and equipment sheds for roof and structural integrity.
Solar power arrays for rural off-grid operations using thermal and visual analysis.
Perimeter fences and farm roads for security and maintenance planning.
This service helps sugarcane producers protect high-value assets, reduce maintenance costs, and improve operational uptime.
