BP Ag Services

At BP Ag, we recognise the challenges modern farmers encounter, including shorter weather windows, unpredictable forecasts, fluctuating markets, and changing government policies. Now more than ever, adopting new technology is essential for the success of your business.

Current Challenges:

Global greenhouse vegetable production spans around 496,800 hectares, supporting the growth of fruits, vegetables, plants, and trees. Managing greenhouse shading is a key concern—summer temperatures can reach 32°C inside, causing plants to halt growth, while the optimal temperature is around 25°C, making shading essential.

Our Solutions:

Our drone technology offers a faster, safer, and more efficient method for applying and removing shading compared to traditional techniques, eliminating the need for risky work on guttering or glasshouse roofs. Our glass cleaning products are now also effective on poly tunnels, enhancing production and extending the life of polyethylene coverings.

How It Works:

Drones operate about 3 meters above the glass, applying products at 600L/hectare—equivalent to 12 tanks per hectare—covering up to 6 hectares per day. We offer competitive rates and have earned strong client relationships through our reliability, fast response, and professionalism.

UK Forestry:

The UK has around 3,279,000 hectares of woodland, covering 13.5% of the land, and this area continues to grow, benefiting both the environment and sustainability. Managing such extensive woodlands, however, is a significant challenge.

How We Can Help:

• Spreading granular fertiliser on new plantations

• Applying living mulches and companion crops to nourish young trees

• Spraying micronutrients

• Spraying deer repellents

Why Use a Drone?

• Access areas traditional methods can’t reach

• Faster, more efficient, and less time-consuming

• Works on any terrain

• Allows variable rate and spot spreading or spraying

• Cost-effective

Sustainability: After harvesting, replanting is essential. Our drones, equipped with an 80L Revocast tank, can spread any seed mix over any terrain, ideal for replanting or rewilding projects.

Oak Processionary Moth (OPM): OPM treatment is legally required in the UK, where natural predators are scarce. Using the P100 Pro’s peristaltic pumps, we can safely spray nematodes to naturally eliminate OPM, providing an effective and eco-friendly solution.

With new government grants encouraging renewable energy, solar farms are increasingly appearing across the UK countryside to help reduce net carbon emissions.

While essential for clean energy, keeping them efficient can be costly. Traditional cleaning often relies on manual labour, compact tractors, and rotary brushes. Panels on grain stores, warehouses, or livestock buildings are particularly difficult to clean and frequently go unmaintained. These methods are not only time-consuming but also pose significant health and safety risks.

Applying nutrients to Christmas Trees with our drones has become highly popular, offering clear advantages: improved coverage, high efficiency, zero crop damage, and no need for access roads. For smaller plantations without water access, we can deliver both water and nutrients directly to the field using our spray trailer.

Peatlands are typically remote, boggy, and rich in wildlife. However, peat harvesting, wildfires, farming, and natural erosion have created a need for restoration. Using drones instead of heavy machinery allows us to restore these areas without harming or disturbing the surrounding environment.

Peatland Restoration

Tackle hard-to-reach, waterlogged areas with high-value seed mixes using precise drone applications.

Council Spraying

Our fleet of ATVs can efficiently cover large areas each day. Equipped with low-level nozzles for curb spraying and long-reach lances for bunds or ditches, we handle it all.

Low Disturbance

Working on wet land can be tricky, but our dual-wheel ATVs allow us to apply chemicals cleanly without causing damage or mess.

Amenity & Infrastructure

For infrastructure or amenity projects, our ATVs are ideal. Spray boom guards prevent drift and ensure a precise application.

Paddock Maintenance

We can manage paddock and boundary spraying, supplying the chemicals if needed, and providing a fast, efficient, and hassle-free service.

Gritting Services

We provide salt spreading for commercial, private, and public sites, including car parks, loading areas, access roads, and driveways. Our gritters can reach areas with no height restrictions or tight spaces.

Walkways

Walkways, steps, ramps, smoking areas, and fire assembly points are hand-gritted to ensure safety.

Snow Clearance

When snow covers car parks, loading areas, or open spaces, our snow plough team clears the site, keeping your business or estate running smoothly.

Soil Sampling

We're Constructionline Gold accredited, so we can complete any soil sampling needed on large infrastructure projects, where this level of accreditation is needed! We can create maps to show the levels of nutrients in  each section of a field, identify ways to restore those nutrient levels once the project is finished, and then re-sample to confirm the land is left, as it was found.

Drone Spreading

For any seeding work needed on bunding/catchment ponds/easement areas, the drone is the ideal solution. There's no driving ATVs on uneven ground or steep slopes, it doesn't matter how wet the soil is because we don't need to drive on it, and it's a more sustainable approach as everything is battery powered.

Drone Spraying

Weed control on bunding/catchment ponds/easement areas is also a big challenge. There's always an element of risk involved in driving an ATV on bunding, with a live load of chemical. The drone takes all this risk away, no roll over risk, precise application and hassle-free.Glyphosate is hopefully going to be approved for drone applications before the new year, so our drone spraying services can be utilised by companies as a modern approach to weed control.

ATV Spraying

Our current solution to weed control on any amenity or infrastructure projects are with our fleet of ATVs and sprayers. The sprayers consist of boom and lance sprayers. So we've got you covered for any large or small areas, such as under perimeter fencing. We use guards over the spray booms to stop any drift and get a better application.We'll organise any chemical and store it off site.We know how important it is to keep the site tidy and weed-free, thus keeping your landlords/landowners happy.

ATV Spreading

We also offer ATV spreading, for any cover crops, wild flower mixes, grass seed or pellets. We use this in and around built-up areas where it's illegal to fly the drone. So no matter what the circumstance, we can accommodate any site and any job.
