DJI Agras T40, T50, T70P, and T100 for BC Cranberry Growers
Why BC Cranberry Growers Are Switching to Spray & Spread Drones
BC cranberry farms-especially in Richmond, Pitt Meadows, Delta, and Langley-face unique challenges:
- Soft, saturated bogs that limit tractor access
- Tight spray windows during bloom and pre-harvest
- Labour shortages during peak season
- Need for precise fertilizer and pesticide placement
- High cost of rut repair and soil disturbance from ground equipment
Spray drones eliminate these issues by flying above the bog, reducing labour, improving coverage, and protecting soil structure.
Below is a clear comparison of the T40, T50, T70P, and T100 – the most relevant models for cranberry operations.
T40 - Proven, Reliable, and Cost-Effective (40 L)
Best for: Small to mid-size cranberry farms (5–40 acres), growers new to drones.
Key Advantages:
- 40 L spray tank with strong flow rates
- Dual atomizing nozzles for excellent droplet uniformity
- Effective for fungicides, insecticides, and nutrition sprays
- 40–50 acre/day capability with two batteries
- Lower cost of entry than newer models
Why growers choose it: The T40 is a reliable, affordable starting point with enough power for most cranberry blocks.
T70P - The Efficiency Upgrade (70 L)
Best for: Medium to large cranberry farms (40–150 acres) needing higher throughput.
Key Advantages:
- 70 L spray tank – nearly double the T50/T40
- Higher flow rates (30-40 L/min) for rapid coverage
- 100 L spreader for fertilizer, seed, and pest granules
- Stronger motors and 62-inch props for deeper canopy penetration
- More stable in wind and coastal conditions
Why growers choose it: The T70P dramatically increases hourly coverage while maintaining excellent precision-ideal for large bogs.
T100 - Maximum Productivity for Large Acreage (100 L)
Best for: Large farms, cooperatives, and custom applicators.
Key Advantages:
- 100 L spray tank and 100 kg payload
- 5–13 m spray width for maximum efficiency
- 400 kg/min spreading for large-scale fertilizer applications
- Best-in-class obstacle avoidance with 360° radar + vision
- Ideal for large, uniform bogs
Why growers choose it: The T100 replaces tractor sprayers entirely-perfect for operations needing maximum daily output.
