Higher efficiency
Cover large areas in less time — about 6 acres an hour — spraying uniformly along automated flight paths while cutting labour requirements.
Drone-as-a-Service
Agriculture Fertilizer Spraying
Nano Urea and Nano DAP sprayed at scale across Maharashtra, Telangana and Karnataka under consecutive Memorandums of Agreement with IFFCO — where Schnell emerged as a top sprayer among multiple partners.

The IFFCO partnership
Spraying Nano Urea and Nano DAP at national scale
Schnell Drone Technologies offers Drone-as-a-Service for agrochemical spraying including Nano Urea and Nano DAP across multiple states in India.
Schnell signed Memorandums of Agreement with IFFCO in FY 2024-25 and FY 2025-26 and emerged as a top sprayer among multiple partners. IFFCO — the Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Limited — is a massive multi-state cooperative society headquartered in New Delhi, supporting over 35,000 member cooperatives and reaching 50 million farmers.
Under this MoA, Schnell carried out extensive spraying of Nano Urea and Nano DAP in agricultural fields across Maharashtra, Telangana and Karnataka. With DGCA type certification of the Himalaya drone, Schnell can now expand its footprint across the central and northern parts of India.
- 35,000+ member cooperatives in the IFFCO network
- 50 million farmers reached through that network
- Three states covered in the first two seasons
On the record
Two years, two agreements signed with IFFCO
Memorandums of Agreement covering the Kharif and Rabi seasons, and the renewal that doubled the scope of spraying.
Why spray with drones
Advantages over traditional spraying
Drone spraying changes the economics and the safety profile of crop protection — covering more ground, with less chemical, and without putting an operator inside the spray cloud.
Precision spraying
GPS and automated navigation apply the right dose to the right place, targeting specific areas and eliminating overlap and missed spots.
Reduced chemical usage
Controlled spraying minimises waste, lowering overall pesticide and fertilizer consumption and reducing environmental contamination.
Improved operator safety
Operators stay away from direct chemical exposure, never walk through freshly sprayed fields, and avoid the risks of difficult terrain.
Access to difficult areas
Hilly, muddy, flooded or uneven fields are sprayed easily, including areas that tractors and other ground equipment simply cannot reach.
Less crop damage
No foot traffic in the field means no trampled crop and none of the soil compaction that machinery leaves behind.
Time savings
Fast deployment and rapid spraying make it practical to treat a crop inside the narrow window of a critical growth stage.
Water conservation
Low-volume spraying techniques require significantly less water than conventional methods — decisive in water-stressed districts.
Cost savings over time
Lower labour costs, reduced fuel consumption versus tractor-based spraying, and savings from less chemical and better crop protection.
The platform behind the spraying
Nano Urea and Nano DAP are applied with Schnell's own DGCA type certified HIMALAYA hexacopter.
