DJI Agras T50

In broadacre spraying, the T50 can reach up to ~21 ha/hour in favourable conditions. Orchard output is typically lower (around ~4 ha/hour) due to tighter turns, height changes and terrain-follow. Real-world performance depends on dose rate, swath, flight speed/height, wind, refill speed and field layout.

The T50 has a 40 L liquid tank. With the standard dual atomising sprinklers it supports up to ~16 L/min. Adding the optional four-sprinkler kit increases potential throughput to ~24 L/min (setup- and product-dependent).

The atomising sprinklers cover an approximate droplet spectrum of 50–500 µm. Effective swath is typically ~4–11 m around 3 m AGL, but depends on speed, height, droplet setting and product. Always set droplet size and height to the product label and target canopy.

Yes. The spreading kit includes a 75 L / 50 kg hopper. It handles typical granule sizes (approx. 0.5–5 mm) with output up to ~108 kg/min depending on material and settings. Low-rate gates support seeding and light applications.

Yes. Reverse Directional Spray lets you apply at the end of a run while reversing, reducing tight turns, improving headland coverage and saving time.

Yes. Front/rear phased-array radar and binocular vision enable obstacle bypassing and slope-aware terrain-follow. This is ideal for orchards, vineyards and fields with uneven ground. Always survey new blocks and set safe heights and speeds.

The T50 uses the DJI RC Plus (7″ high-brightness screen) running DJI Agriculture software. If you already operate a T25 with RC Plus, you can use the same controller (ensure firmware and app versions are current).

RTK is recommended for precise FPV mapping, boundary accuracy and repeatable lines across seasons. It helps with route sharing, consistent overlap and accurate headland work. You can use NTRIP or a compatible RTK base.

Flight time per battery is typically ~10–20 minutes depending on payload, rate and wind. For continuous operations, teams rotate multiple DB1560 batteries with a high-power charger (e.g., C10000-class) targeting ~9–12 minute turnarounds to match refill cycles.

Use a high-power field charger on 220–240 V with adequate supply (and cooling/heat-sink if specified). Keep batteries shaded, avoid dust/water ingress, and follow DJI’s charging temperature limits. We can advise on UK-ready chargers, leads and safety best practice.

The system is suitable for many agricultural liquids (pesticides, foliar feeds, liquid fertiliser). Compatibility depends on formulation and label guidance. Always check material safety sheets, follow the label for droplet size and water volume, and rinse/flush the system after use.

Use the DJI Agriculture app to set speed, height, swath, droplet level and target L/ha. Calibrate flow, test on a measured strip and confirm volumes by refill counts. For variable-rate work, import prescription maps from DJI Terra / SmartFarm or your agronomy platform.

Yes. Generate NDVI/NDRE and zone maps (e.g., in DJI Terra/SmartFarm or third-party GIS) and import prescriptions to drive variable-rate spraying or spreading—subject to workflow support and file format.

Flush with clean water after each job, especially after products that can crystallise or gum. Inspect/clean sprinklers, filters and lines. Check seals, clamps and hoses, and store the system drained. Follow DJI’s service intervals and consumables guidance.

Operate within the manual’s wind and weather limits. Avoid heavy rain. Keep electronics dry, protect batteries from heat and moisture, and wipe down the aircraft after operations. For dust-prone spreading, clean the hopper, spinner and air pathways frequently.

One pilot can fly. Productivity increases markedly with a second operator to handle refills, batteries and the field station. Large jobs may benefit from a dedicated bowser driver or ground support.

Yes, routes can be shared across Agras models with parameter checks before flight (tank sizes, speeds, swath). Always validate each task and run a short test pass.

Yes. Spraying must comply with HSE/CRD rules and typically requires appropriate PA certification (pesticide application). For flying, Agras operations fall in the Specific category, so you’ll usually need a GVC and a CAA Operational Authorisation (often via a SORA-based safety case), plus compliant insurance.

When height, speed and droplet size are set correctly, downwash helps drive droplets into the canopy without flattening crops. Avoid excessive heights/speeds and follow label guidance for coverage and drift reduction.

Different tool, different strengths: drones excel in wet ground, tramline-free or difficult blocks, and can target specific areas with reduced compaction. With correct setup, RTK lines and validated rates, consistency is high. For audit trails, retain totals, maps and job logs.

Standard pesticide PPE is required when mixing, loading and cleaning. Use a level, cordoned-off staging area, keep people/animals clear, and respect drift buffers and water courses. Carry spill kits and follow the product label and HSE/CRD guidance.

Drone Sales UK provides UK onboarding, setup and training, plus spares, repairs and technical support. We can advise on chargers, batteries, bowser setups and documentation for CAA/HSE compliance.

Running costs vary with dose rates, chemical prices, battery cycles, labour and travel. Many contractors price by hectare or by job minimum. We can help model costs based on your crops, rates and field logistics.
