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?

The Future of Application —
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.

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, with no changes to spray volume, application rate, droplet size, spray buffer zones, or any other conditions of use.

• The person who mixes and loads the pesticide is different from the RPA pilot.
• Mixers and loaders wear the minimum personal protective equipment (PPE) required on the label.
• The RPA pilot, the visual observer, and workers handling the RPA during application must follow the PPE and mitigation measures for ground application (either ground boom or air blast) to the crop.

Liquid nutrients such as: liquid fertilizers, micronutrients, bio-stimulants – fulvic/humic acids, are permitted.

  • 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!
