Overview
DJI Agras is a family of agricultural multirotor drones developed and manufactured by DJI, the Chinese drone and imaging-technology company. The series is designed primarily for precision crop-protection work, including the aerial application of pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and liquid fertilizers. Depending on configuration, Agras aircraft can also spread dry fertilizer and seeds, conduct field or orchard mapping, and support newer lifting applications. The product line is positioned as an integrated agricultural-technology system rather than simply an aircraft: the drones are paired with intelligent flight controllers, satellite positioning, real-time kinematic positioning, radar, first-person-view or gimbal cameras, interchangeable spray and spreading systems, batteries, charging equipment, software, and operational workflows. The first Agras model, the MG-1, was released in November 2015. It represented DJI’s entry into agricultural aviation and used a foldable octocopter design with a 10-liter pesticide tank and four electronically controlled spray nozzles. Its sealed body, motor cooling system, return-to-position capability, and automated spraying functions established the central design priorities of the range: resistance to dust and liquids, repeatable coverage, reduced operator exposure to chemicals, and efficient treatment of fields that can be difficult or slow to cover with ground equipment. The MG generation expanded through the MG-1S, MG-1S RTK, MG-1SA, MG-1P, and MG-1P RTK. These updates added obstacle avoidance, manual and automatic flight modes, RTK positioning, FPV monitoring, improved spray hardware, and revised batteries. In late 2018, DJI moved the line into the T series with the Agras T16. The T16 adopted a hexacopter layout, a 16-liter tank, higher environmental protection, satellite-navigation support, imaging radar, and obstacle-avoidance technology. Later T-series aircraft progressively increased capacity and automation while introducing more capable radar systems, improved video transmission, redesigned spray modules, and spreading attachments. The T20, T10, and T30 broadened the range from smaller and more accessible aircraft to a larger orchard and field platform. The T30 became a prominent flagship of the early T-series with a 30-liter tank, dual FPV cameras, radar, and optional equipment for orchard spraying. In 2021, DJI introduced the T20P and T40, with the T40 replacing the T30 as the larger flagship. The T40 combined a 40-liter spraying system with a 70-liter dry-spreading configuration and a coaxial twin-rotor octo-quad architecture. The T25 and T50 generation continued the emphasis on multifunctionality. The T25 was designed as a relatively compact, foldable aircraft suitable for one-person handling, while the T50 supported substantially larger spray and spreading loads. Both platforms incorporated phased-array radar, vision systems, and interchangeable equipment for surveying, spraying, and spreading. The T25P and T60 extended the range in China with updated transmission, propulsion, battery, and spray-system technologies. In November 2024, DJI announced the T70, T70P, and T100 in China. These aircraft pushed Agras capacity substantially higher, with 70-liter systems for the T70 family and a 100-liter tank for the T100. DJI subsequently announced the global launch of the T100, T70P, and T25P on July 15, 2025. The T70P supports spraying, spreading, and lifting configurations, while the T100 is the largest Agras aircraft described in the available product material and uses a high-capacity octo-quad design with intelligent flight functions. Agras aircraft have also been used in public-health and emergency contexts. In 2019, drones were tested in Zanzibar as part of a malaria-elimination project involving silicone-based treatment of rice paddies to reduce mosquito breeding. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Agras drones were tested with water for outdoor-disinfection procedures in Chicago, and an Agras MG-1 was used by Spain’s Military Emergencies Unit in disinfection operations. The range has also attracted scrutiny because agricultural drones can be modified or repurposed for military roles. Reports have described Agras aircraft being used or adapted in conflict settings, illustrating the dual-use character of large, payload-capable commercial drones. Today, DJI Agras is best understood as DJI’s agricultural-automation platform. Its differentiation rests on combining aircraft hardware with precision navigation, obstacle detection, application-control software, interchangeable payload systems, rapid battery and field logistics, and a developing smart-farm ecosystem. Product availability and permitted uses vary by jurisdiction, and the newest models are not necessarily sold in every market.
History
DJI Agras began as DJI’s dedicated agricultural-drone initiative and was first commercialized with the Agras MG-1 in November 2015. The initial aircraft adapted DJI’s multirotor engineering to aerial crop treatment, using a foldable octocopter frame, a 10-liter pesticide tank, four spray nozzles, a sealed structure, motor cooling, and a return-to-position function that allowed the operator to resume a route after refilling and changing batteries. This foundation established the main operating logic of Agras: carry a liquid or solid agricultural payload, follow a planned path at low altitude, regulate application according to flight conditions, and reduce the need for workers to enter treated fields. The MG-series evolved rapidly. The MG-1S, introduced in 2016, added forward and rear obstacle avoidance and support for both manual and automatic operation. A companion MG-1S RTK added real-time kinematic positioning for improved route repeatability. In 2017, DJI added the MG-1SA with an FPV camera and released the MG-1P and MG-1P RTK with updated spray nozzles, batteries, and camera or RTK configurations. These variants show the product line’s early emphasis on incremental improvements to navigation accuracy, operator visibility, obstacle awareness, and field endurance rather than a single fixed aircraft design. The T-series represented a broader technical transition. The Agras T16, released in December 2018, replaced the octocopter MG platform with a hexacopter configuration and increased tank capacity to 16 liters. Its structure was designed around a higher level of environmental protection, while the aircraft added imaging radar, obstacle avoidance, multiple satellite-navigation systems, and an FPV camera. The T16 also supported different spray-nozzle choices and used four delivery pumps, allowing application hardware to be matched to operating requirements. DJI expanded the T-series with the 20-liter T20 in 2020 and then introduced the T10 and T30. The T10 served as a smaller quadcopter option, while the T30 became the larger flagship, with a 30-liter tank, dual FPV cameras, radar, and optional equipment for fruit-tree spraying. The T30’s branch-targeting and adjustable-arm features reflected an attempt to extend drone spraying beyond open fields into orchards and dense canopies. Both the T10 and T30 became available globally in August 2021 after earlier Chinese availability. In November 2021, DJI released the T20P and T40. These aircraft used updated phased-array radar, gimballed FPV cameras, BeiDou support, and new spray hardware. The T40 became the leading large Agras model of that generation, with a 40-liter spraying configuration and a dry-spreading configuration capable of carrying a larger solid payload. Its octo-quad, coaxial twin-rotor architecture was intended to combine payload capacity with a relatively compact folded structure. The T25 and T50, introduced in 2022, continued the trend toward multifunctional aircraft. The T25 targeted lighter, more flexible operations and could be configured for spraying or dry spreading. The T50 retained the larger platform’s emphasis on throughput, with a 40-liter liquid system and an optional spreading system. Both aircraft used phased-array radar and could support surveying, spraying, and spreading workflows. DJI then introduced the T25P and T60 in China before or during 2023. The T25P added updated video transmission and spray components, while the T60 introduced more powerful propulsion, a larger battery, and O4 transmission. The next capacity increase came in November 2024, when DJI introduced the T70, T70P, and T100 in China. The T70 family used a 70-liter tank, with the T70P receiving an upgraded battery that allowed fuller use of the nominal tank capacity. The T100 raised the nominal tank capacity to 100 liters and incorporated new AI flight algorithms. DJI announced the global launch of the T100, T70P, and T25P on July 15, 2025. Official product material presents the T70P as a multifunction aircraft supporting spraying, spreading, and lifting, while the T100 is described as part of a wider smart-farm ecosystem involving the DJI SmartFarm application and associated field equipment. Agras has been used outside routine crop treatment. In 2019, the Zanzibar Malaria Elimination Program tested Agras drones for applying a silicone-based pesticide to rice paddies as a mosquito-control measure. During the COVID-19 pandemic, an Agras MG-1S and T16 were involved in a Chicago-area test of outdoor-disinfection procedures, using water rather than disinfectant in the cited test. Spain’s Military Emergencies Unit also used an Agras MG-1 in disinfection operations. At the same time, the aircraft’s payload and flight capabilities have enabled military adaptations. Reports cited by the subject’s reference article describe Agras drones being used for explosive dropping in Gaza and modified for weapons carriage in Ukraine. These cases do not represent the stated agricultural purpose of the brand, but they are relevant to understanding the dual-use implications of commercial heavy-lift drones. DJI Agras is active as of 2026. Its evolution has been marked by steadily increasing payload capacity, progression from manual spraying toward automated and data-assisted operations, wider use of radar and vision systems, integration of spreading and surveying, and the development of supporting software and charging infrastructure. Market availability, regulatory permissions, and product configurations vary by country.
