A70 Optimal Operation Parameters for Various Crops

CropsSpray Amount (L/acre)Flight Speed (m/s)Swath Width (m)Relative Flight Height from Crops (m)Efficiency (acre/hour)Notes
Corn4.9 – 12.113.88 – 102.2 – 365.9Except for foliar fertilizers, corns should be sprayed at low speed to ensure penetration.
Soybean6.1 – 10.913.88 – 102.2 – 365.9Except for nutritional supplements, low-altitude flight should be maintained to enhance penetration.
Rice6.1 – 10.913.88 – 102.2 – 365.9The large, flat terrain is conducive to operations, allowing for coverage of over 160 acres per day. However, when operating in the numerous smaller lands that requiring frequent relocation, drone flight efficiency is significantly reduced. Frequent takeoff and landing, and obstacles in the fields also negatively affect operating time. For early rice, it is important to increase the flight altitude to prevent blowing down the crops.
