Drones have become a must-have in modern agriculture. From mapping large fields to assessing plant health, they help farmers monitor crops with pinpoint accuracy. At Choice Tec Enterprise, we supply and support drone-based agricultural solutions.

🔹 Product Examples:

  • DJI Agras Series: For automated spraying and seeding.

  • Parrot Bluegrass & SenseFly eBee: For high-resolution mapping and NDVI imagery.

  • Data Processing Platforms: DroneDeploy and Pix4D are used to stitch maps and generate crop reports.

🔹 Use Case: In a commercial citrus farm, our drones mapped disease-affected areas using thermal cameras. With targeted treatment guided by our Variable Rate Application (VRA) maps, the farmer reduced pesticide use by 40% and saved thousands in operational costs.

Whether you're managing 10 hectares or 10,000, drones let you farm smarter—not harder.
