DJI launches Agras T55 and T100 dual-battery spraying drones

DJI Agriculture on July 6 launched the Agras T55 and the Agras T100 Dual Battery Spraying System, two new agricultural drones the company says extend field coverage and cut downtime for spray operators, as its worldwide fleet passes 600,000 units.

The Agras T55 carries 50 liters for spraying at a 50 liter-per-minute flow rate, or 55 kilograms for spreading at 400 kilograms per minute, and adds a lifting mode rated for 40 kilograms. A new millimeter-wave radar delivers up to 250,000 obstacle-detection points per second, while a quad-vision camera system gives operators views in front, behind, left, right and below the aircraft, with reliable operation claimed in rain and fog.

The Agras T100 Dual Battery Spraying System is aimed at large-scale operations. Dual intelligent batteries extend hover time by 50% at equal payload, and a 90-liter tank with dual-atomized centrifugal sprinklers is designed for faster flight speeds and wider coverage; a single-battery configuration raises spreading capacity to 150 liters. An optional mist-sprinkler set is built for orchard canopies.

“DJI Agriculture continues to push the boundaries of precision farming, empowering farmers with our advanced drone technology to feed their communities while reducing the environmental costs to our planet,” said Yuan Zhang, head of global sales at DJI Agriculture. The company said it now supports more than 3,500 service and repair centers and 7,000 certified instructors worldwide, treating 300 crop types in over 100 countries. The launch comes as U.S. spray-drone operators continue pressing regulators to reconsider an FCC ban on new foreign-made drones that could restrict access to DJI’s Agras line domestically.
