PROXYCustom Tank Mix Applied by Drone
Why make three tractor passes when you can do one with a drone? Tank mix combines herbicide + fungicide + foliar in a single application, saving time, fuel, and reducing soil compaction to zero.
How it works
The agronomist prescribes the compatible product combination. The operator verifies chemical compatibility, prepares the solution, and applies the mix in a single pass. The drone uses 10-15 L/ha at high concentration, sufficient for all products in the mix.
Comparison: One drone pass vs. Multiple tractor passes
| Criteria | Drone (1 pass) | Tractor (2-3 passes) |
|---|---|---|
| Total cost | 120 RON/ha + VAT | 150-240 RON/ha (combined) |
| Total time | 1 day | 3-5 days |
| Soil compaction | Zero | Multiple |
| Crop loss | 0% | 6-15% (cumulative passes) |
| Total water use | 10-15 L/ha | 400-1200 L/ha (combined) |

When you need this
Custom tank mix applied by drone is ideal in the following cases:
- Short weather windows — everything must be applied in one day
- Reducing passes — crop sensitive to compaction
- Cost efficiency — one mobilization instead of three
Why ProxyDrone
Platform operators have experience preparing and applying complex tank mixes. They verify product compatibility and adjust flight parameters for optimal coverage.
Frequently Asked Questions
What products can be combined in a tank mix?
The most common combinations include herbicide + fungicide, fungicide + foliar, or herbicide + fungicide + foliar. The operator verifies chemical compatibility before preparation.
How much does a drone tank mix application cost?
The base rate is 120 RON/ha + VAT for a single pass, versus 150-240 RON/ha combined for 2-3 tractor passes.
Is it as effective as separate applications?
Yes, provided the products are chemically compatible. ProxyDrone operators verify compatibility and adjust concentration for maximum efficacy.
How many hectares can be treated per day with tank mix?
An agricultural drone can treat 30-40 ha per day with tank mix. For larger areas, ProxyDrone can assign multiple operators simultaneously.
