Drones excel where ground rigs struggle. We can easily navigate steep hills, uneven terrain, and pivot corners. Because we fly over the crop, we can also spray in wet conditions that would leave a tractor stuck in the mud.

Both liquid and granular products. The most common liquid applications are fungicides, insecticides, foliar fertilizers, and herbicides. Granular applications include broadcast cover crops and fertilizers.

Our drones can apply 0.25 – 15 gallons per acre of liquid product and 3 – 300 pounds per acre of granular product. Low volume rates (typically 2 gallons per acre) are the most common use for our drone series. Due to the prop wash designed to distribute and penetrate the product across and through the canopy, we have found very high efficiency with a wide range of products at a low volume rate.

The two biggest advantages are Zero Compaction and Zero Crop Damage. A ground rig can trample 2-3% of a crop just by driving through it. Drones fly above the canopy, ensuring 100% of the yield potential is preserved.

Drones offer superior precision and Variable Rate Applications. Because we fly at a lower altitude (usually 10-15 feet above the crop) and use the downwash from the rotors to “push” the product into the canopy, we achieve better underside leaf coverage and significantly reduced drift compared to traditional planes.

We utulize the DJI AGras T40 which features a 10.5 Gal spray tank and a 50Kg spreading payload. For Larger jobs we can deploy multiple drone simultaneously to maximise efficiency and acreage coverage.

As a rule of thumb, 2 gallons per acre (GPA) is commonly labeled as the carrier volume for most aerial applied products. Our DJI T40's efficiency at 2 GPA is 35-40 acres per hour. This includes landing and refill time.

At a lower GPA, the efficiency will increase slightly, at higher GPA the efficiency will decrease.

Drones utilize a vortex effect created by the rotor wash to help spread out and distribute the atomized liquid across a swath that is wider than the actual drone. The swath is affected by this vortex effect along with application height, nozzle selection, spray rate and spraying speed.

The max swath width for the DJI T40 when spraying at 10-13 ft. over the crop canopy is 32 feet.

The spread pattern of the granular spreader varies widely depending on product and drone elevation, typically ranging from 20-35 ft.

Nozzle selection, product density and calibration will affect the max pump output. The DJI T40 has a max output of 3.2 gallons per minute.

Pumps are operated with brushless motors that automatically adjust spray rate in accordance with flight speed.

Electromagnetic flow meters ensure the rate is kept accurate.

Our drones feature industry leading obstacle avoidance utilizing Digital Beam Forming (DBF) radars. These radars can sense obstacles as small as 1 cm in diameter, causing the drone to either stop and alert the operator or automatically fly around the obstacle.

We serve producers throughout the Trasure Valley, including Ada, Canyon, Gem, Twin falls, and Elmore counties.

We are based in Boise, Idaho and Idaho Crop Spraying is what we specialize in.

Yes! Using Agremo AI and NDVI mapping, we can survey your fields to pinpoint exactly wgere crops are stressed. This allows for “Spot Spraying.” where we only apply treatment where they are needed, saving you money on inputs.

Mountain Top Drone Services is built on a foundation of precision and a “mission-first” work ethic. We understand that in farming, timing is everything. We pride ourselves on being a reliable, localized partner that treats your land with the same respect as our own.
