Drone Spraying Services in Assam
Drone spraying in Assam typically costs ₹400–₹550 per acre for sali and boro paddy, with a drone finishing an acre in about 7–10 minutes. CropWings covers Assam through its pilot network — availability varies by district, so check the app. Demand peaks July–September for sali paddy, December–January for mustard aphids and February–March for boro.
Assam grows rice in three seasons — monsoon-fed sali paddy across the Brahmaputra valley, dry-season boro on the low-lying beels of Nagaon, Morigaon and the Barak valley, and early ahu in between. After the sali harvest, rabi mustard turns Barpeta, Nalbari and Darrang yellow, and maize is expanding as a feed crop in Lower Assam. Upper Assam's Dibrugarh–Tinsukia–Jorhat belt is tea country, where estates and small tea growers battle loopers and helopeltis through the plucking season.
For farmers, drones solve two very Assamese problems: waterlogged fields you cannot walk with a knapsack sprayer, and the narrow weather windows between monsoon spells. A spray drone covers an acre in about 7–10 minutes from the bund, using a fraction of the water a knapsack round needs. CropWings serves Assam through its pilot network, subject to pilot availability in your district — check the app for live coverage around Guwahati, Nagaon, Jorhat and the Barak valley.

Season guide
Sali paddy: transplant June–August, harvest November–December — spraying peaks July–October for stem borer, leaf folder and blast. Boro paddy on beel margins runs December–May. Rabi mustard (October–February) takes aphid-control rounds in December–January. Flood weeks in July–August can pause field operations in char and lowland areas, so book around forecast windows.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the drone spraying price per acre for paddy in Nagaon or Barpeta?
Typical rates run ₹400–₹550 per acre for sali or boro paddy in the Brahmaputra valley districts, towards the lower end for large contiguous blocks and higher for scattered small plots. Mustard rounds in Barpeta or Nalbari price similarly. Exact pricing for your field, crop and chemical shows in the CropWings app before you confirm the booking.
How do I book drone spraying in Assam and is it available in my district?
Book through the CropWings app: pin your field, pick the crop and slot, and confirm. Assam is served via the CropWings pilot network, subject to pilot availability in your district — the app shows live coverage. Group bookings from one village, common in the Nagaon and Morigaon boro belts, get pilots allotted fastest.
Can drones spray tea gardens and mustard in Assam, or only paddy?
Paddy is the volume crop, but drones handle mustard aphid rounds well, and flat or gently sloped tea sections in Dibrugarh, Jorhat and Golaghat are sprayed for loopers and helopeltis — estates usually book bulk acreage. Maize and vegetables on the char lands also suit drones. Very uneven terrain and heavily shaded tea sections need a site check first.
Is drone spraying legal in Assam? What licence does the pilot need?
Yes — under the DGCA Drone Rules, 2021, spraying drones must be type-certified, registered on the Digital Sky platform, and flown by pilots holding a Remote Pilot Certificate from a DGCA-authorised RPTO. CropWings verifies every pilot's certificate. Most of Assam's farm belt is green-zone airspace, but the app auto-checks your field's zone at booking.
