Drone Nerds to Carry DJI Agras T40 Agricultural Spraying Drone for North America

Nov 30, 2022

Drone Nerds, a commercial drone solutions provider and DJI Enterprise Platinum Partner, is set to launch the DJI Agras T40 drone as it debuts in North America on Oct 12, 2022. The DJI Agras T40 launched in China in late 2021, making it a larger capacity alternative to its predecessor, the DJI T30, and becoming DJI’s new flagship agricultural spraying drone.

The DJI T40 is designed to help cultivators quickly and easily spray orchards, crop fields, and fruit trees. It has a coaxial rotor system that allows the drone to hover and maintain a more stable flight pattern as it sprays. The T40 has a 40-liter tank that has a spreading capacity of up to 50 kg (70 l) and a spray capacity of up to 40 kg of water or other liquid chemicals.

With an ultra-high-definition 12 MP camera on an adjustable gimbal, the DJI T40 can collect clear images of agricultural fields, farmland, and orchards in real-time. Its intelligent spacial recognition system allows the T40 to identify plot boundaries and obstacles automatically for intelligent route planning and efficient spraying and spreading. It features an omnidirectional radar and binocular vision to detect obstacles at a distance of up to 50 meters. Its advanced spatial recognition system makes the DJI T40 capable of flying through orchards and dense fruit tree plantations with minimal crash risk. Through the DJI Smart Agriculture cloud platform, users can easily automate field inspections, crop growth analysis, and disease monitoring.

To support full-day operations, the DJI T40 has a 30,000 mAh intelligent flight battery for an ultra-long service life of up to 1,500 charges—the smart charging hub can power a battery fully in 9 minutes.

“The DJI Agras T40 is a complete solution for the agriculture industry—this solution is going to help farmers and agriculturists tap into the future of digital and precision farming by automating tedious manual processes,” states Jeremy Schneiderman, Drone Nerds’ CEO.

Video: Dicamba Returns for Georgia Farmers: What the New EPA Ruling Means for Cotton Growers

After being unavailable in 2024 due to registration issues, dicamba products are returning for Georgia farmers this growing season — but under strict new conditions.

In this report from Tifton, Extension Weed Specialist Stanley Culpepper explains the updated EPA ruling, including new application limits, mandatory training requirements, and the need for a restricted use pesticide license. Among the key changes: a cap of two ½-pound applications per year and the required use of an approved volatility reduction agent with every application.

For Georgia cotton producers, the ruling is significant. According to Taylor Sills with the Georgia Cotton Commission, the vast majority of cotton planted in the state carries the dicamba-tolerant trait — meaning farmers had been paying for technology they couldn’t use.

While environmental groups have expressed concerns over spray drift, Georgia growers have reduced off-target pesticide movement by more than 91% over the past decade. Still, this two-year registration period will come with increased scrutiny, making stewardship and compliance more important than ever.
