Professional Hampshire Drone Spraying Services

Hampshire's chalk downland runs to large, open arable rotations of wheat, barley and oilseed rape, often on rolling ground cut through by the Test and Itchen valleys. We fly above tall OSR and bean canopies without knocking pods or adding tramlines, and use onboard NDVI mapping to vary rate across the drought-prone chalk brashes rather than treating every hectare the same. For estates and growers across the South Downs and the Hampshire Downs, that means precise timing without putting more wheelings across establishing crops.

The Hampshire Downs run to large, historic arable fields on thin chalk loam capped with clay-with-flint - good tractor ground, so the value here is precision rather than access. What makes the county distinctive is water: the Test and Itchen are internationally significant chalk streams, and farming right up against them means drift control and buffer-strip compliance near the watercourse is a genuine, everyday concern. NDVI-guided spot treatment puts product only where the crop needs it, keeping it off the margins and out of the stream catchment.
