Drone Spraying Services in West Bengal
Drone crop spraying in West Bengal typically costs ₹400–₹550 per acre — Boro and Aman paddy at the lower end, jute and maize similar, potato slightly higher for fine blight coverage. CropWings serves the state via its certified pilot network, subject to pilot availability in your district; fragmented plots are clustered so one pilot can spray 20–30 acres daily.
West Bengal grows rice in three seasons — Aus, monsoon Aman and irrigated Boro — and Purba Bardhaman's reputation as the state's rice bowl rests on all three. Around it sit distinct crop belts: jute along the Nadia–Murshidabad corridor and north Bengal, potato in Hooghly and Purba Bardhaman, a fast-growing maize economy in Malda, Uttar Dinajpur and Dakshin Dinajpur, and mustard through the central districts. Humid deltaic weather keeps pest and fungal pressure among the highest in India.
CropWings covers West Bengal through its certified pilot network rather than a resident fleet — bookings confirm subject to pilot availability in your district, shown live in the app. Because average holdings are small and fragmented, village-level clustering is the norm: one pilot can string together 20–30 acres of neighbouring Boro plots in a day. Peak demand runs February–April, when blast and sheath blight hit Boro paddy, and again in September–October for brown planthopper on standing Aman.

Season guide
Aman paddy (June–December) is the big monsoon crop; irrigated Boro (December–May) takes the heaviest crop-protection spend, with the blast and sheath-blight window in February–April; Aus is a shorter pre-monsoon crop. Jute runs March–July in Nadia–Murshidabad, potato November–February in the Hooghly belt, and rabi maize dominates the Malda–Dinajpur region.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the drone spraying price per acre for Boro paddy in Bardhaman?
Boro paddy in Purba Bardhaman and Hooghly typically costs ₹400–₹500 per acre by drone; potato blight sprays run slightly higher, up to ₹550, because they need denser droplet coverage. Village-clustered bookings — common given Bengal's small plot sizes — usually land at the lower end of the band. The final quote shows in the CropWings app before confirmation.
How do I book drone spraying near Malda or Burdwan?
Use the CropWings app: mark your plot, pick the crop and chemical, and request a slot. West Bengal is covered via the CropWings pilot network, subject to pilot availability in your district — coverage shows live before payment. During the February–April Boro fungicide rush, group with neighbours; clustered village bookings confirm faster and price better than single small plots.
Which crops in West Bengal are suitable for drone spraying?
Paddy across all three seasons is the core use case — drones cover flooded Boro and Aman fields without trampling. Rabi maize in Malda and the Dinajpurs, jute in Nadia–Murshidabad before canopy closure, mustard, and potato in Hooghly all spray well. Tea gardens in Darjeeling, Jalpaiguri and Alipurduar are handled as estate-level jobs with separate protocols.
Is drone spraying legal in West Bengal, and are pilots licensed?
Yes — the Drone Rules 2021 make agricultural drone spraying legal across West Bengal. The drone must be registered on DigitalSky with a UIN, the pilot must hold a DGCA Remote Pilot Certificate, and chemicals must be applied per Ministry of Agriculture SOPs. Airspace near Kolkata and Bagdogra airports is zone-restricted; CropWings pilots check the DigitalSky map before every flight.
