Olive/Oil Production
Elevate Your Yield with Skyterra
Olive Orchard Spraying & Olive Oil Production Support
Sky Terra delivers precise aerial spraying and advanced orchard monitoring tailored for olive growers and olive oil producers. Using the DJI Agras T100 (up to 26 ha/hr), we achieve deep penetration in tall, dense, evergreen olive canopies—improving disease and pest control while supporting high-quality oil production.
Why Olive Growers & Oil Producers Choose Sky Terra
Olives require consistent canopy coverage to manage pests, maintain leaf health, and support optimal oil yield and chemistry.
Our drone systems provide:
- Targeted spraying for major pests and diseases including olive lace bug, black scale, olive moth, anthracnose, peacock spot, cercospora leaf spot, and fruit fly pressure.
- Deep canopy penetration using powerful downdraft airflow to reach inner foliage—critical for evergreen canopies that can hold disease year-round.
- Improved productivity for oil makers, with better disease management contributing to higher fruit quality, reduced defects, and better extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) grades.
- No soil compaction, protecting olive tree root systems—especially important for long-lived groves and regenerative systems.
- Safe operation after rain, ideal for clay soils or sloped Mediterranean-style plantings where ground rigs often bog or damage trees.
- Reduced chemical and water use, with uniform spray application improving efficiency and reducing overspray.
Supporting High-Quality Olive Oil Production
Healthy, well-managed fruit directly improves oil yield, polyphenol levels, and sensory quality.
Our services help producers achieve:
- Lower anthracnose incidence, reducing fruit rot and oil defects.
- Reduced peacock spot pressure, maintaining productive leaf area throughout the season.
- Consistent fruit development, improving harvest uniformity and milling efficiency.
- Better pest control, reducing stinging, marking, and fruit fly defects that lower EVOO grades.
Precision Orchard Monitoring
We use multispectral imaging and drone-based mapping to support precision olive management:
- NDVI/NDRE canopy health analysis to identify stress, nutrition issues, or disease hotspots.
- Block-level insights for targeted spraying, pruning strategies, or irrigation optimisation.
- Early detection of canopy thinning or lesions associated with fungal pressure.
- Digital spray logs meeting QA, HACCP, and export-market requirements.
Perfect for Modern & Traditional Olive Systems
- High-density (HD) and super-high-density (SHD) orchards
- Traditional wide-spaced groves
- Sloped, rocky, or soft-soil plantings
- Organic and low-impact production systems
Sky Terra provides olive growers and olive oil producers with a clean, efficient, and highly accurate solution that enhances fruit quality, protects long-term tree health, and boosts overall oil yield and production consistency
