Aerial Application · Licensed in Idaho & Utah
Precision spraying,
flown by drone.
Plant Shield Drone Spraying LLC applies herbicides, pesticides, fungicides, and fertilizer, plus granules and seed, with GPS-guided drones built for the ground a rig can't reach and the acres a plane can't justify.
Payload Capability
One aircraft,
five ways to treat a field.
Every job is mapped, mixed, and applied to label rate, with as-applied records for your files.
01
Herbicides
Burndown and post-emergent weed control, spot-treated or broadcast, with tight swath control along fence lines and waterways.
02
Pesticides
Insect pressure handled fast, with low-altitude application that gets product into the canopy instead of drifting past it.
03
Fungicides
Disease pressure caught on your timeline, not the sprayer's — we can be in a wet or soft field the same day it needs treatment.
04
Fertilizers
Liquid foliar feeding applied evenly across variable terrain, with rate adjusted to as-flown ground speed, not guesswork.
05
Granules
Dry spreader payloads for granular fertilizer and soil amendments, metered and mapped the same way liquid jobs are.
06
Seed
Cover crop and pasture seeding by air, including interseeding into standing crop where equipment simply can't drive.
The Comparison
Drone vs. ground rig
vs. crop plane.
Each has a place. Here's where a drone changes the math for you.
| Factor | Drone | Ground Rig | Crop Plane |
|---|---|---|---|
| Soil compaction | None — never touches the ground | Ruts wet or soft fields | None |
| Wet / muddy fields | Flies regardless of ground conditions | Often can't get in | No issue, but see below |
| Steep or terraced ground | Handles slopes and terraces easily | Rollover risk, limited access | Fine from the air |
| Obstacles (power lines, trees, structures) | Maps around them at low altitude | Drives around, wastes coverage | Major hazard at speed |
| Drift control | Low altitude, low speed, tight swath | Low drift, but crop damage from tires | Highest drift risk |
| Minimum job size | Small fields and odd-shaped parcels pay | Small jobs feasible | Needs acreage to justify mobilization |
| Mobilization cost | Low — trailer-based, sets up on site | Low | High — ferry time, airstrip needed |
| Buffer zone precision | Programmed no-spray zones, exact | Manual, operator-dependent | Widest required buffers |
| Crop damage from application | None | Tire tracks through standing crop | None |
| As-applied mapping | GPS record of every pass, every job | Varies by equipment | Varies by operator |
No compaction, no ruts, no wait
A ground rig needs the field dry enough to carry its weight. A drone doesn't touch the soil at all, so treatment happens on the calendar the crop needs, not the calendar the ground allows.
Goes where wheels can't
Steep hillsides, terraced ground, soft corners, and irregular field edges that a sprayer has to skip or drive around get the same even coverage as the rest of the field.
A fraction of a crop plane's overhead
No airstrip, no ferry flight, no minimum-acreage math to make the trip worthwhile. The rig shows up on a trailer and starts working the field you actually have.
Tighter buffers, less waste
Flying low and slow with a programmed flight path means product goes where it's mapped to go — right up to a waterway or property line without the wide buffer a plane requires.
