Are you looking for the best way to improve your soils and grow healthier plants? We have two solutions for you: organic inputs and DJI drone technology.
Organic inputs are becoming more popular as farmers move away from synthetic fertilisers. Unlike synthetic chemicals that may degrade the soil, organic inputs such as bio crop protectants and biostimulants activate microbial life and protect crops while maintaining healthier soils.
To save more and increase efficiency, you can utilise drones to detect areas that need application and for the application process. This article explores how you can use organic inputs from Organica Australia and DJI drones from Aerial Applications Australia for better soils, healthier crops, and better returns.
The Benefits of Organic Inputs for Increased Microbial Life and Plant Vigour
Let's dive deeper into the benefits of organic inputs compared to synthetic inputs;
- Provide energy for Microbial build-up - Organic inputs often contain essential nutrients for microbial life. Once you introduce these nutrients, you increase microbial activities in the soil, making more nutrients available. Organica Australia has a wide range of Biostimulants and Bionutrition that are great for this.
- Natural protection - Organic inputs such as Organica Australia's Bio Refuge and Bio Silica Barrier provide a protective layer against harsh weather while maintaining good soil structure. Organica Australia also offers a Bio Chilli Barrier, a natural pest repellent, and a Bio Copper Barrier, which fixes copper issues in plants while deterring fungi and bacteria.
- Improved Soil Structure - Organic inputs improve soil structure, increasing water retention and drought resistance. Water retention also ensures nutrient retention since nutrient leaching is slowed down.
- Economical benefits - Increased water and nutrient retention saves money since it minimises the irrigation and fertiliser application cycles.

How DJI Drones Can Help Improve Organic Input Application
Traditional or manual application methods of fertilisers are often tedious, time-consuming, and often subject to human error. Below are two ways DJI drones can help improve the application process;
Data-driven Approach
Instead of applying organic inputs generally, you can use drones like the DJI Mavic 3 Multispectral or the Phantom 4 Multispectral to identify areas that need attention. These drones collect data in 4 or 5 bands, detecting issues one can't see with the naked eye. From this data, one can identify the most stressed plants due to pests or diseases, measure chlorophyll levels to determine nutrient deficiencies and use this data to optimise the application process.
Streamlined Application
Once you have collected the data using drones with multispectral sensors, you can feed these insights into DJI Terra or the DJI Pilot app on the controller. DJI's software and hardware ecosystem offers the following;
- Automated flight plans - You don't have to fly the drone manually. Instead, you can map the area of interest and use the software to create flight plans, avoiding any obstacles along the way. Once you upload them to the drone, it will apply the organic inputs systematically, marking the complete areas so as not to repeat the process.
- Precise application - DJI spray drones come with automated nozzles and atomisers that apply the biofertilisers and crop protectants evenly. Depending on the crops or biofertilisers you are dealing with, you can adjust the flow rate, drop size, or nozzle.
- Spot application - Using the data you collected, you can apply different amounts of organic inputs to different plants depending on their needs. This enhances efficiency and reduces costs.
- Reduced labor costs - One DJI drone, especially the Agras T30, T40, and T50, which have capacities ranging from 30 kg to 50 kg, can cover more ground at a time than people, saving time while being relatively cheaper than tractors or airplanes.
