🌱 Weedicide spraying
Weedicide (herbicide) spraying by drone
Post-emergence weedicides on wheat, soybean, sugarcane, maize and paddy applied by drone at the right weed stage, with the drift buffers the label demands.
Weed control is about timing: a post-emergence weedicide works on a weed at two to four leaves and does much less a week later. Waiting for a spray crew to become free is how the window gets missed, and a drone removes that wait.
Herbicides need extra care because drift onto a neighbouring broadleaf crop can damage it. Operators on Sky Spray apply weedicides only where the product label permits drone use, use coarser droplets, fly lower and in calmer wind than for other sprays, and keep buffer distances from sensitive fields.
What you get
Spray at the right weed stage
Book for the day the flush reaches the label stage rather than when labour is available.
Controlled drift
Low flight height, larger droplets and calm-wind slots limit off-target movement, and the operator records the conditions.
No wheel tracks
A drone applies weedicide across a closed crop canopy without a tractor lane through it.

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.
Weedicide spraying: common questions
Are herbicides allowed to be sprayed by drone in India?
Only products whose label permits drone application, following the standard operating procedure for drone spraying. Operators will decline products that are not approved for drone use.
What about drift onto my neighbour's field?
Operators keep buffer distances, spray in low wind and choose droplet sizes to reduce drift. Tell the operator what is growing in adjacent fields when you book.
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.
