DJI's technology for drone that we have cultivated over many years has come to blossom in the field of agriculture.


This is DJI 's first agron drone "Agras MG - 1". The field to fly is Tabata.


Agras MG-1 is specially designed as a drone for agriculture.


With outstanding flight performance and energy efficiency, pesticide is sprayed in the air.


Agras MG - 1 can carry up to 10 kg of pesticide.


Spreadable range is up to 10 acres per hour (about 40,000 square meters).


This is equivalent to 40 to 60 times the manual spraying.


Agras MG-1 for agricultural drone is dustproof and waterproof. Since it has corrosion resistance, it can be cleaned after use.


In addition, Agras MG - 1 adopts an innovative internal circulation system.

Drain air from the motor part with the propeller. Cooling the electric components with electric motors Stable operation is realized.


Pesticide can be sprayed from 4 spray heads. You can replace the head according to the type of crop.


Moreover, by sensing the distance to the ground and agricultural crops with a sensor, it is possible to spray flight and agricultural chemicals while keeping a certain distance.


Also accurate mapping of scattering range. There is no scattering leak.


Agras MG - 1, which can dramatically lower the labor cost of farmers, opens the era of new agriculture.


Agras MG - 1 is a drone with 8 propellers.


You can load liquid pesticide up to 10 kg in the tank at the bottom of the aircraft.


It is said that the lifetime has been extended up to three times by cooling the motor by the centrifugal cooling system. In addition, a triple-structured filter is adopted inside, and it is structured to prevent invasion of impurities.


Propo is like this.


It is possible to accurately map farmland and spray it evenly. It is possible to resume work from the place where you returned after pesticide replenishment and recharging with memory function.


Since the topography is scanned with microwave radar in real time, pesticide can be sprayed precisely without collision even in agricultural land with a difference in height.


Agras MG - 1 also folds the propeller and rod ... ...


It can also be made compact.


Agras MG - 1 will be released in China and Korea first, then will be released in other areas. Price has not been officially announced,The Wall Street JournalIt is about 15,000 dollars (about 1.8 million yen) according to.

Agras MG - 1, which seems to be able to greatly reduce pesticide spraying costs, has a great demand for areas where intensive agriculture is carried out in relatively narrow land including Japan, unlike countries such as the United States and Australia with vast agricultural land so. Furthermore, because it can grasp the topography with the microwave radar, it seems to be particularly effective in work in agricultural sites such as mountain areas and rice terraces.
