WHY DRONES?

SweetWater Technologies powered by Gripp, is forging the path to agronomic excellence by creating a system around technology and precision.

A BETTER SOLUTION HAS LANDED

American agriculture faces a pressing need to enhance productivity per unit of input, with a strong emphasis on return on investment (ROI). This demand is driving the growing adoption of drone technology, which offers impressive capabilities and stands as a leading solution for growers.

  • Precision Application: Drones enable precise spraying with minimal drift, allowing for spot treatment and accurate application near populated areas. Drones cause little to no crop damage compared to conventional sprayers. Make in-season passes without the risk of harm from ground equipment.
  • Adaptability to Challenging Conditions: Drones can access and spray in areas where traditional methods are hindered by topography or soil conditions.
  • Reduced Fuel Usage and Emissions: The use of drones leads to a significant decrease in fuel consumption and emissions output.
  • Enhanced Efficiency and Yields: Increased coverage through drone application has shown to result in greater efficiency and higher yields, providing a better ROI for farmers. Drones can help avoid costly waitlists associated with traditional ground and aerial application methods by covering acres on time.
