Drohnen Expertise Solutions GmbH specializes in professional UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) photography and videography services, delivering advanced drone solutions for agricultural data collection and crop health optimization.

Seed sowing by drone is an advanced, innovative approach to modern agriculture. It allows for precise, rapid, and cost-effective sowing, particularly beneficial in hard-to-reach or environmentally sensitive areas.

Using an integrated spreading system, the drone applies seeds directly to targeted zones. With the support of RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) technology, the application achieves centimeter-level accuracy, maximizing land use while minimizing overlaps and gaps.

Unlike traditional heavy machinery, drone seeding prevents soil compaction, making it ideal for wet or delicate soils. It also performs efficiently on slopes and in areas that are difficult to access.

Ideal Applications:

  • Reseeding grasslands
  • Sowing cover crops
  • Greening fallow land
  • Reforestation projects

Paired with sensors and cameras, drones can also gather valuable data on soil conditions to enable needs-based sowing.
