DJI Agras drones spray crop protection products, spread seed and fertilizer, and work alongside mapping drones that show where to treat. They cover acreage fast and reach wet or hilly ground that tractors can't. Pick the model by field size and job, then plan for the FAA and state paperwork, which takes longer than buying the drone.
Which Agras fits your operation?
| Model | Spray tank | Spread tank | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Agras T20P | 20 L | 35 L (25 kg) | Portable, one-person setup |
| Agras T25 | 20 L | 35 L (25 kg) | Small and medium fields, orchards |
| Agras T40 | 40 L | 70 L (50 kg) | Large fields |
| Agras T50 | 40 L | 75 L (50 kg) | Large fields, the all-round workhorse |
| Agras T100 | 100 L | 150 L (100 kg) | Largest acreage, spreading and lifting |
Specs are DJI's. The T25 and T50 spray up to 24 L/min with four nozzles, and the T100 up to 40 L/min. Every Agras is sold by quote because the right battery and charging setup depends on your fields.
- T20P and T25 are compact enough for one person to transport and set up. They suit orchards, vineyards, specialty crops and smaller row-crop fields.
- T40 and T50 use a coaxial twin-rotor design and carry twice the liquid. They're the most common choice for custom applicators covering large acreage.
- T100 is DJI's biggest ag platform. Beyond spraying and spreading, it can lift up to 100 kg with a hoist for jobs like moving supplies across difficult terrain.
- Mavic 3 Multispectral maps crop health so you can make prescription maps and treat only the areas that need it.
What a day of spraying really takes
The drone is only part of the system. Plan for:
- Batteries and charging. DJI rates the T25 and T50 batteries at 9 to 12 minutes for a full charge with their fast chargers, so a crew usually rotates three or more batteries per drone to keep flying.
- Power in the field. Fast chargers need a generator or high-output power source at the field edge.
- Mixing and water. Someone has to mix and refill the tank on every landing. With a 40 L tank, refills come quickly.
- Altitude and heat. DJI reduces the recommended payload at higher elevations (for example, 10 kg less per 1,000 m for the T50), and the app recommends a safe load for current conditions.
- Weather. Wind and temperature affect drift as much as with any aerial application. Follow the pesticide label.
What you need to operate legally
Spraying from a drone involves more paperwork than photography. Plan for:
- A Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate for every pilot.
- FAA Part 137 agricultural aircraft operator certification to dispense pesticides, fertilizer or seed from an aircraft. This applies even on your own farm.
- A 49 U.S.C. 44807 exemption, because Part 107 covers drones under 55 lb and a loaded spray drone weighs far more.
- FAA aircraft registration through the standard aircraft registry, since drones of 55 lb or more can't use the simple online DroneZone system.
- A state pesticide applicator license under your state's rules, especially for custom application and restricted-use products.
Many operators get through it in a few months by filing the FAA applications at the same time. Our spray drone license guide walks through each step.
Common mistakes
- Buying the biggest drone first. A T100 needs more batteries, more power and a bigger crew. Many farms do more acres per day with a well-supported T50.
- Underestimating batteries. Too few batteries is the most common reason a drone sits idle mid-job.
- Starting the paperwork late. Apply for Part 137 and the exemption before the season, not when the crop needs spraying.
- Ignoring the label. Pesticide labels and state rules on aerial application still apply to drones.
US availability in 2026
Current Agras models were authorized before the FCC's December 2025 cutoff, so they remain legal to sell and fly. In July 2026 the FCC proposed limiting further import and sale of some drone types, including spray drones. It's a proposal, not a final rule. See is DJI banned in the US.
