Is drone spraying legal in Malaysia?

Yes, under CAAM rules. Agricultural UAS work requires an Unmanned Aerial Work Certificate under CAD 6011 Part (II). See our regulations page.

Can any pesticide be sprayed by drone?

No. The DOA payload list allows pesticides registered with the Pesticides Board that are recommended for UAS use, plus fertiliser, plant growth enhancers and seed.

Does drone spraying work on tall durian trees?

Usually yes, with slower passes and careful height control. Very steep or broken slopes can be a limit, which we check on site.

What does drone spraying cost per acre?

It depends on crop, terrain and acreage. We quote in writing after seeing the site details.

Do you cover smallholders?

Yes. Grouping neighbouring holdings into one visit keeps the cost down for everyone.

What happens if it rains?

We postpone. Spraying before heavy rain wastes product and risks run off.
