General , The Croptic system
Croptic turns drone images of fields into task maps for spot spraying. You can see where weeds are and target your spraying instead of treating the entire field.
Croptic is built for contractors and arable farmers who want to tackle weed pressure at the field level and use crop protection more precisely.
First, drone images of the field are captured. Croptic then analyses those images for weeds. Based on that analysis, a task map is generated that can be used for spot spraying on the field.
No. You don't need to own a drone yourself. The field flight can be carried out by a drone partner or a contractor from our network. View our pilot network →
Croptic is designed to be practical to use on existing sprayers. You don't have to wait for a completely new setup to start spraying more precisely today.
In most cases you'll receive the task map within 48 hours after the flight. For larger fields or busier periods it may take a bit longer.
The biggest gains come from more targeted spraying, less unnecessary product use and better insight into weed pressure per field. In certain situations this can lead to a reduction of up to 95% in herbicide use, with an average of 86%. By only spraying where needed, the crop can grow better and healthier, resulting in higher yields.
Yes , that's often the best way to start. You'll see right away how the analysis, task map and execution work in practice on your own fields.
Croptic is particularly relevant in crops where weed pressure varies strongly within the same field, such as onions, sugar beet, potatoes and other arable crops. We're happy to look at each situation to see whether it makes sense.
Then you know that too. The analysis shows not only where you should treat, but also where you don't need to. That way you avoid unnecessary spraying.
Depends on your fields, crops and the weed pressure we detect. On average, our customers save Up to 95% on inputs on treated fields. Want a concrete estimate? Use our savings calculator , it works it out in a few steps. Calculate my savings →
For farmers
Croptic works on virtually every crop. Not every crop has the same savings potential , in sensitive crops the gain is often largest thanks to reduced phytotox, but significant savings are also achievable in less sensitive crops. Plan your first scan for your specific crop and plot.
No. You can collaborate with your contractor if they have a drone, or we can connect you with a certified pilot from our network. Flying happens at roughly 15 ha/hour, depending on flight altitude.
24 to 48 hours after uploading the images. Every map is checked by our specialists , we never send out an unchecked map. So plan your flight at least 2 days before spraying.
You do nothing. No subscription, no cancellation. Croptic is pay-per-use , you only pay for the area you have scanned. Skip a crop or a season without arranging anything.
For contractors
Client retention and regional differentiation. A farmer who uses Croptic through you sees the savings every season , and has a concrete reason to stay with you. You're also the contractor in the region offering task-map spraying. If a farmer wants it, they call you , not the neighbour.
Practically every sprayer with GPS and section control , virtually every modern professional sprayer. No extra hardware, no retrofit, no cables. You load the task map via USB or the cloud, and the machine does the rest.
No, not necessarily. We work with two models: fly yourself (RTK drone with RGB camera) or via a pilot from our network. Many contractors start without a drone and only invest in their own hardware later. View our pilot network →
Start with one field from a regular client. Fly it, deliver the task map, and let them ride along. At the end, compare input use against a conventional treatment. Not a sales pitch , just the facts. That conversation, you always win.
Yes. In the Netherlands a CAP eco-scheme pays arable farmers up to €43/ha extra for precision crop protection. A bonus, but not why farmers actually start. In Belgium this scheme doesn't exist yet.
