DRON.BEL

UAV application of crop protection products and fertilizers

Description

DRON.BEL is the brand of LLC “DronService”, providing turnkey agrodron operations for applying herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, desiccation and foliar feeding, with an end-to-end workflow: field digitization, mission planning, drone application, and reporting. The company also trains operators, offers in-season repair/service (incl. on-site response), and builds mobile mixing/charging stations to scale drone teams’ throughput.

Technology

  • Drone
  • Remote sensing
  • GIS

Operations are based on “application by rate and field map” and mission planning over digitized fields. For logistics and speed, the company manufactures trailer-based mixing/charging stations (example configuration designed for two XAG P100PRO drones) with large tanks, pumps, dosing and safety features to mix in-field using ULV/UMO practices and keep drones flying with minimal downtime. Service capability includes diagnostics, repair, configuration, and testing with warranty and a mobile service brigade.

Target

  • Large size farms
  • Medium size farms

Primary users are crop farms and agri-service teams needing fast treatment without crop trampling, plus farm managers/agronomists who want controlled-rate applications and documented output. Particularly useful for large-scale operations where ground-based monitoring is impractical.

Business model

  • Fee for service

The solution operates under a fee for service model.

Impact

Drone-based monitoring enables early detection of crop stress and pest infestations across large areas, allowing targeted intervention that reduces pesticide use and improves yield outcomes compared to uniform field treatment.

Four Betters

  • Better production
  • Better environment

Sustainable Development Goals

  • SDG 9: Industry, innovation, and infrastructure
