Ratnagiri is the heart of GI-tagged Alphonso (Hapus) mango country — Dapoli, Guhagar and Rajapur slopes are lined with orchards — along with cashew, coconut, kokum and valley paddy. Spraying tall mango trees on steep laterite slopes with hoses is dangerous, slow work; drones cover the same canopy from above in minutes. Ratnagiri is served through CropWings' active Maharashtra network along the Konkan coast.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the drone spraying price per acre for Alphonso mango in Ratnagiri?
Alphonso orchard spraying in Ratnagiri typically costs ₹500–₹600 per acre, with very tall or steeply sloped orchards quoted after the pilot's canopy survey. Compared with hiring a spray gang with hoses and ladders through the November–February hopper season, most growers find drone rounds both cheaper and far more consistent.
Can drones spray mango orchards on Ratnagiri's steep slopes?
Yes — this is where drones outperform everything else. The drone uses terrain-following radar to hold a constant height above trees planted on laterite slopes, spraying canopies that hose teams reach only partially and unevenly. The pilot needs a level takeoff spot near the orchard, which is discussed at booking.
When should I book drone sprays for mango hopper in Dapoli and Rajapur?
Book before flowering begins — typically late October to November — because the first hopper spray at panicle emergence is the one that saves your fruit set. Slots fill quickly across the Konkan in this window, so schedule the flowering-season series (usually two to three rounds) in the CropWings app in advance.
