Aerial Application for Plant Nutrition & Crop Protection in the Okanagan

Growers Need Results - 
Not More Equipment

AG Drones helps agricultural producers apply crop protection products, nutrients, approved pesticides, and granular materials with precision while reducing soil compaction and improving access to challenging fields.

 

From targeted spraying to crop-health mapping, we combine drone technology with aerial application knowledge to help growers make timely, informed decisions across the Okanagan Valley and Southern Interior BC.

Get full coverage and deep penetration. 

Get to the root of the issue. 

When your fields need foliar nutrition, canopy sprays, or targeted crop protection, our team ensures the right material reaches the right place at the right rate.

Why Choose Ag Drones?

Fast, Accurate, Terrain‑Smart

AG Drones provides professional agricultural drone spraying services throughout the Okanagan Valley and the Southern Interior, British Columbia. We help growers improve crop health, increase operational efficiency, and reduce the challenges associated with traditional ground-based spraying equipment.

Agricultural drones deliver precise applications of fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, foliar nutrients, biological products, and fertilizers across vineyards, orchards, hay fields, ranchlands, and specialty crops.

By combining innovative drone technology with proven agronomic practices, we help producers protect yields while minimizing product waste, soil compaction, and environmental impact.

Certified and Authorized

Crew is certified for RPAS Advanced Operations by the Ministry of Transportation and by the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy for Aerial Pesticide Application in compliance with federal and provincial regulations. 

Professional Knowledge

The first parts of a good IPM program are evaluation and identification. Through aerial mapping and soil sample analysis we can recommend a pro-active course of action, assisting producers to build a nutrient and crop protection program tailored to plant requirements and environmental safety.

Benefits of Application by Drones

The Advantages of Agricultural Drone Spraying

Traditional spraying methods can be limited by terrain, weather conditions, crop accessibility, and equipment availability. Agricultural drones offer a modern alternative that allows growers to respond quickly to changing field conditions while applying products with exceptional precision.

Our drone spraying technology provides:

Increased Accessibility

Reach steep slopes, soft ground conditions, narrow orchard rows, and difficult-to-access vineyard blocks without risking equipment damage or crop loss.

Reduced Soil Compaction

Unlike tractors and sprayers, drones never enter the field, eliminating wheel tracks and reducing soil disturbance throughout the growing season.

Precision Application

Advanced terrain-following radar and GPS-guided flight systems ensure consistent coverage while reducing over-application and unnecessary product use.

Improved Crop Protection

Faster deployment allows growers to address disease pressure, weeds, pests, and nutrient deficiencies when timing matters most.

Enhanced Safety

Drone spraying reduces operator exposure to crop protection products while improving access to areas that may present safety concerns for conventional equipment.

Modern precision agriculture is about applying the right product, in the right place, at the right time, and agricultural drones are helping producers achieve exactly that.

AG Drones Service focus

Agricultural Drone Services for Okanagan Growers

Our aerial spraying systems deliver accurate applications for:

Fungicides

Herbicides

Insecticides

Foliar nutrients

Biological treatments

Crop protection products

Liquid fertilizers

From targeted spraying to crop-health mapping, we combine drone technology with aerial application knowledge to help growers make timely, informed decisions across the Okanagan Valley and Southern Interior BC.

Applications can be customized to crop type, growth stage, field conditions, and agronomic recommendations.

Vineyard Spraying

Okanagan vineyards often face challenges associated with steep terrain, limited equipment access, and disease management. Drone spraying provides consistent canopy coverage while reducing ground compaction and minimizing disruption to vineyard operations.

Orchard Spraying

We provide drone spraying services for apple, cherry, pear, peach, apricot, and other tree fruit operations throughout British Columbia. Our precision application technology helps improve penetration into dense canopies while supporting efficient pest and disease management strategies.

Pasture and Field Applications

Agricultural drones are highly effective for hay fields, pastures, forage crops, and larger agricultural properties where traditional application methods may be difficult or inefficient.

Crop Scouting

Start off the season with a base field analysis and track crop response throughout the season using drone imagery and in-field data.

How It Works

Field Assessment to Remedy Application

Step 01

Discuss Your Field and Crop Needs

Tell us what you are growing, where the challenge is, and what outcome you need.

Step 02

Plan the Application

We review field conditions, access, terrain, timing, product labels and data sheets.  

Step 03

Complete the Drone Operation

Our team carries out the planned spraying, spreading, or mapping work with care and efficacy in mind.

Step 04

Review the Results

We can gather in-field and aerial map data to help identify next steps where appropriate.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about drones in agriculture? Here are the most common questions.

Yes.
However, application of fungicides, herbicides and insecticides via drone is regulated by Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA). 
 
Aerial Application of Pesticides by aircraft - RPAs, drones,  requires that Pilots must hold Aerial Pesticide Applicator Certification from the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy.
 
Pilots must comply with PMRA regulations and label directions for aerial application. Pilots are not permitted to handle products.  
 
Liquid nutrients such as: liquid fertilizers, micro-nutrients, bio-stimulants – fulvic/humic acids, are permitted.  
Ask Us!
  • Superior Canopy Penetration: The powerful downwash from propellers pushes droplets into the center of dense foliage, ensuring thorough coverage on both sides of grape leaves and deep within fruit trees.
  • Precision Spraying in Difficult Terrain: Drones can easily navigate steep hillsides (up to 50 degrees) and narrow rows that are dangerous or inaccessible for tractors. 
  • Elimination of Soil Compaction: Unlike heavy ground rigs, drones have zero impact on the soil, preserving root health and allowing for spraying immediately after rain when fields are too muddy for tractors.
  • Optimized Resource Use: Targeted “spot spraying” based on high-resolution maps can reduce chemical and water usage by 20–35%.
  • Harvest & Yield Management: AI-powered mapping can automatically count fruit clusters or analyze ripeness, helping growers split blocks into specific harvest zones for maximum wine quality. 

An RPAS Pilot Certificate – Advanced Operations from Transport Canada is needed to start. We offer intensive classes and review from 43 North to get you in the air asap.

Training on heavy lift agriculture drones is highly recommended to ensure safety and efficiency in operations.  Ask Us!

Drones offer centimeter-level accuracy using RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) GPS. They provide better “under-leaf” coverage because the downward draft from the propellers moves the foliage as they pass. This precision often allows for a 20–30% reduction in chemical usage.
 
Many growers find that a drone can pay for itself in just one to two seasons. Owners can save approximately $10 per acre compared to traditional tractor application costs, while custom service providers can recover their initial investment in as little as 4–6 weeks by charging competitive per-acre fees.
 
Buying is cost-effective for farms spraying at least 1,000 acres annually. However, for smaller operations or those who do not want to manage technical maintenance and licensing, hiring a drone-as-a-service provider is a low-risk way to access the technology. Ask Us!
