Answers before you ask
Common questions about drones in agriculture, pricing and the permissibility of application.
Not at present. Aerial application of plant-protection products — including by drone — is not permitted under the Croatian Sustainable Use of Pesticides Act (NN 46/22). A drone that applies pesticides is legally treated as an aircraft. An exception is possible only with an individual Ministry of Agriculture approval and a product expressly approved for aerial use, which is not a realistic route for routine crop protection. We keep a waiting list of interest and will contact you if the rules change.
Mapping, monitoring and imaging of plantings, and foliar feeding with permitted fertilisers and biostimulants. The flight itself follows HACZ drone rules (operator registration).
Mapping from €35/ha, monitoring (NDVI) from €45/ha, foliar feeding from €90/ha; half-day from €550, full day from €950. The minimum job price is €250 (mapping and monitoring) or €350 (feeding). Scattered parcels are quoted per parcel or by the day. Every parcel is assessed individually.
Yes. Precision agriculture is useful on smaller parcels too, especially terraced and hard-to-reach plantings. For smaller parcels a minimum job price applies.
Yes — we also come to islands such as Hvar, Brač, Korčula, Vis and Šolta. We arrange timing and logistics in advance, and the ferry is charged at cost.
The EU is considering rule changes that could allow exceptions for certain drones. Until adopted and transposed into Croatian law, the ban remains. Register your interest and we’ll notify you as soon as there’s news.
No. A drone gives a better view of the parcel, but decisions on protection and feeding are made by you and your agronomist. We work in cooperation with agronomists.
