🍄 Fungicide spraying
Fungicide spraying by drone
Blast in paddy, late blight in potato, yellow rust in wheat, Sigatoka in banana: fungal diseases move in days. A drone covers the whole field in one morning so the fungicide is on before the disease spreads.
Fungal diseases are weather-driven. A cloudy, humid week can turn a few spots of late blight or rust into a field-wide problem, and the fungicide has to be on the leaves before that happens, not after. That makes coverage and speed matter more than for almost any other spray.
Drone application puts a uniform, fine film across the entire canopy, including the lower and inner leaves where blight and sheath diseases begin, and lets a single operator treat many acres in the short calm window after dawn.
What you get
Ahead of the weather
Book on a disease alert and the operator can treat the whole block the next morning, which is what protective fungicides need.
Even film on every leaf
Uniform low-volume application avoids the missed patches and run-off that let disease survive a spray.
Repeat rounds without trampling
Weekly blight or Sigatoka rounds happen without anyone walking ridges or bruising a dense canopy.
Works on tall and closed crops
Grown sugarcane, banana and orchards get fungicide coverage that a ground sprayer cannot reach.

How a booking works
Four steps from your phone to a sprayed field. You set the price, and nothing starts until you share the start code.
Post your field and name your price
Drop a pin on your field, enter the acreage and crop, pick a date and set the price per acre you want to pay. The app shows the going rate nearby.
A nearby operator accepts
Your request goes to verified operators around you for 5 minutes. The first to accept your price gets the job. No taker? Raise your offer and post again.
Pay cash at the field, or UPI in the app
Pay the operator in cash when they arrive, or pay online after they accept. Then share your 4-digit start code; that is what starts the spray.
Proof on your phone
The operator uploads GPS-located photos of the sprayed area from your field. You see them in the app and rate the job.
Fungicide spraying: common questions
Are systemic and contact fungicides both suitable for drones?
Both are used by drone where the label allows. Contact fungicides depend on complete coverage, which drone application handles well; systemic products need the correct dose per acre, which the operator sets in the flight plan.
How many days before harvest can a fungicide be sprayed?
Follow the pre-harvest interval on the product label. Share your harvest date with the operator when booking so the spray is scheduled within it.
Is there a minimum booking size?
Most operators accept bookings from 2 acres. Smaller plots are often batched with neighbouring farms on the same visit, so post your field anyway and let nearby operators decide.
Are the drone operators licensed?
Every operator on Sky Spray submits a DGCA Remote Pilot Certificate, drone registration details and identity proof, and is verified before they can accept a job.
When and how do I pay?
Cash or UPI, your choice. Pay the operator in cash when they reach your field, or pay online in the app once they accept. Either way, the job starts only when you share your 4-digit start code, so nobody starts spraying before you are ready and paid up.
Can I cancel a booking?
Yes. Cancelling before an operator accepts, or before you have paid, costs nothing. Cancelling a paid online booking after acceptance keeps a 20% fee for the operator's reserved slot. Once the start code is shared the job is under way and cannot be cancelled in the app. See the Refund & Cancellation Policy.
