Pod-Stick Application

Sky-Pin Drones Ltd delivers precision pod-stick application using advanced heavy-lift drone technology, helping oilseed rape, peas, field beans growers reduce harvest losses, protect yield, and improve operational efficiency. Using the XAG P100 heavy-lift drone, we apply pod-stick products accurately and evenly across crops—without ground damage, wheelings, or delays caused by poor field conditions.

Reduce pod-shatter losses

Pod-shatter losses in oilseed rape can be significant, particularly in seasons with uneven ripening, wind exposure, or delayed harvests. Drone-applied pod-stick creates a protective film that helps retain seed within the pod, reducing losses between application and combining. The XAG P100’s precision delivery system ensures consistent coverage at the correct timing, safeguarding yield potential when it matters most.

Reduce crop & soil damage

Drone application offers a decisive advantage over conventional sprayers. By removing heavy machinery from the field, soil compaction and crop damage are avoided entirely. Operations can continue even when ground access is restricted by wet conditions, tramline damage risk, or lodged crops
