Why Smart Farmers Are Turning to the DJI M3 Multispectral Drone (and Saving Over $30,000 on Chemicals)

When we’re out in the field talking tech with growers, we’re not just showing off shiny gear — we’re introducing tools that can transform how they manage their land. Today’s topic? A drone that’s as smart as it is airborne.
Welcome to ‘On the Bench’ — CIRTA’s New Segment
We kicked off a new series with a closer look at something game-changing: the DJI M3 Multispectral Drone. While the name might sound high-tech (and it is), the concept is simple. This drone scans your paddocks, orchards, or even golf courses, and shows you exactly what’s happening with your crops — no guesswork required.
From Pretty Colours to Powerful Insights
This isn’t about pretty aerial shots. The DJI M3 captures detailed vegetation data using multispectral sensors. That means it can detect plant stress, nutrient imbalances, or overwatering issues before you ever spot them with the naked eye.
Once that data is collected, you can take action. Only where needed. No waste, no guesswork.
Smarter Spraying = Real Savings
Here’s the kicker: one farmer in New South Wales scanned a 700-acre property and learned they only needed to treat 49% of it. That meant fewer chemicals used, less money spent, and a healthier environment. The final tally? Over $30,000 saved in chemical costs alone.
From Data to Drones to Dollars
The real power here isn’t just the scan — it’s what you do with it. After the drone collects data, that file goes straight into a compatible spray drone. The result? Precision spraying, down to the exact ratio and exact spot. It’s like turning your data into action without lifting a finger.
Why the DJI M3 Is Worth a Look
- Identify stress zones before they spread
- Target treatment only where needed
- Save money on chemicals and reduce environmental impact
- Integrate seamlessly with spray drones for full-circle automation

DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise Multispectral 3M
The DJI Mavic 3 Multispectral (M3M) is a compact drone designed for precision agriculture, environmental monitoring, and high-accuracy surveying. It integrates a 20MP RGB camera with four 5MP multispectral cameras, enabling detailed analysis of vegetation health and crop conditions.
Agricultural Applications
Field Scouting: Real-time detection of crop anomalies such as emergence deficiencies, weed pressure, and lodging.
Orchard Mapping: Terrain-follow aerial surveying, tree counting, and 3D route generation using DJI Terra or DJI SmartFarm Platform.
Variable Rate Application: Generation of prescription maps for targeted spraying and fertilization based on vegetation indices.
