Rain changed the access problem
DJI’s Romanian vineyard story follows owner Vladimir Potiuc and service provider Drone Box. Sloped ground softened by rain prevented tractor access at a critical spraying time. The account says the vineyard used an Agras T50 through the 2024 spraying season.
How the work was reorganized
Aerial application allowed the team to plan treatment without driving a tractor through the wet rows. DJI describes route planning, terrain following and an operating setup adapted to the vineyard. Its case reports a spraying duration of 2.5 hours compared with the previous three to four days, alongside lower labor and chemical costs for that project.
Read the result in its site context
The reported comparison belongs to this vineyard and its operating conditions. The published application parameters are a record of the project, not a universal recipe for another crop or location.
Build a site-specific planning brief
DRT recommends documenting the rows, slopes, access points and existing treatment workflow before comparing equipment. Include where the crew can replenish supplies and how the aircraft, batteries and charging equipment will be supported. Separate the time spent applying from preparation, travel and replenishment when evaluating the operation. Discuss the intended application with the responsible qualified operator and agronomic adviser. A useful proposal connects the equipment to the actual field task and local operating requirements, with a clear account of the labor and support equipment needed.
