Fertilising oil palm on peat by drone
On peat, the fertiliser round is often limited by the ground, not the crew.
The problem
Soft peat and high water tables make it hard to move fertiliser through blocks in the wet season.
Where drones help
A drone with a spreader places granules from the air, so rounds can stay on schedule.
What to plan
- Firm take off points near each block.
- Dry storage for fertiliser bags.
- A calibration strip for each product.
