Product overview
XAG JetSeed™ is an automated spreading system developed for agricultural seeding and crop protection with the XAG P30 2019 crop-protection UAV platform. It uses high-speed airflow to deliver seeds, fertilizer and other solid granules to the target area. Applications include direct rice seeding, grassland reseeding, granular fertilizer and pesticide application, and spreading snow-melting agents. For direct rice seeding, one system can cover more than 80 mu per hour. The P30's modular construction allows rapid connection of the spreading system.
The system has an 11 L standard granule hopper for seeds, fertilizer and pesticide granules measuring 1–10 mm in diameter. A cross-shaped agitator separates clumped and adhering particles, while a grooved roller meters material into the spreading duct. Adjusting roller speed controls application quantity and spreading density, with flight-speed linkage enabling variable-rate spreading. An EDF ducted fan generates 18 m/s airflow, and spreading width adjusts according to granule type across a 2–5 m range. The specially shaped outlet further accelerates airflow using the Bernoulli principle.
Operation begins by selecting the work area on a smartphone, followed by automatic route planning and autonomous spreading with high-precision RTK navigation. On a P-series carrier equipped with the Xcope™ vision module, the aircraft routes around obstacles and pauses spreading during avoidance. A 4G connection provides access to the XAG Cloud RTK base-station network, eliminating mobile base-station setup within China's main agricultural production regions. XAI prescription maps imported through the P30 support targeted spreading for reseeding and crop-protection applications.
