Revolutionizing Fertilizer Application with Drone Technology
Skyfield Aerotech brings precision, efficiency, and sustainability to fertilizer application through cutting-edge drone technology, transforming agricultural practices across Kenya.
Why Drone Fertilizer Application?
Our drone-powered fertilizer application revolutionizes traditional farming methods, offering precision, efficiency, and sustainability that conventional methods simply cannot match.
Faster Coverage
Cover up to 30 hectares per day – 5x faster than traditional methods, saving valuable time during critical growing periods.
Even Distribution
Achieve uniform coverage with computer-controlled spray systems that maintain consistent droplet size and distribution patterns.
Minimized Waste & Runoff
Reduce fertilizer usage by up to 30% through precision application, minimizing environmental impact and protecting water sources.
Enhanced Safety
Eliminate direct human contact with fertilizers, protecting worker health and reducing exposure to potentially harmful chemicals.
Our Advanced Drone Technology
Skyfield Aerotech combines state-of-the-art drone hardware with proprietary software to deliver unmatched precision in fertilizer application.
Our drones utilize advanced atomization nozzles that create optimal droplet sizes for maximum plant absorption. The computer-controlled spray systems maintain consistent pressure and flow rates, ensuring uniform coverage across your entire field.
- Adjustable spray patterns for different crop types
- Consistent droplet size for optimal absorption
- Real-time flow rate adjustments based on flight speed
- Spray width of 3-5 meters per pass

Real Impact in Kenyan Farms
See how our drone fertilizer application is transforming agriculture across Kenya.
"Skyfield's drone application has transformed our rice production. We've seen a 22% increase in yield while using 25% less fertilizer. The even application has eliminated the patchy growth we used to experience."
— John Kamau, Rice Farmer Cooperative Chairman
"We used to spend over a week applying fertilizer to our 200-acre farm. With Skyfield's drones, the entire process takes just two days, and our workers no longer have to carry heavy bags across the fields."
— Sarah Wanjiku, Farm Manager
"The precision of Skyfield's drone application has been a game-changer for our tea plantation. We've reduced our environmental footprint while improving leaf quality and yield consistency across our hilly terrain."
— David Kipkorir, Agricultural Director

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our drone fertilizer application service.
Our drones are equipped to apply a wide range of liquid fertilizers, including foliar feeds, micronutrients, and biostimulants. We can also apply granular fertilizers with our specialized spreading drones, though liquid applications offer the highest precision.
Our pricing is based on acreage, terrain complexity, and application requirements. While the per-hectare cost may be slightly higher than traditional methods, most clients see overall cost savings through reduced fertilizer usage, labor costs, and increased yields. Contact us for a customized quote for your farm.
Our drones can operate in light wind conditions (up to 28 km/h) and light precipitation. However, heavy rain or strong winds may require rescheduling. Our team monitors weather forecasts closely and will work with you to plan applications during optimal conditions.
Our drone technology is effective for a wide range of crops, including rice, maize, wheat, tea, coffee, and various fruits and vegetables. It's particularly valuable for crops where timing is critical, terrain is challenging, or where minimizing soil compaction is important.
