About

About L50

L50 is ABZ Innovation's high-capacity agricultural drone for liquid spraying and granular spreading. It carries a 50-litre spray tank and can accept a 70-litre spreading module, giving operators one aircraft for crop-protection products, fertiliser, seed and similar field inputs. Its rotating-disc application system regulates droplet production across the working swath.

Dual-RTK positioning and lidar-based obstacle sensing support planned routes, terrain following and repeatable passes over large fields. The battery and charging workflow is designed for short turnarounds between sorties, while the professional controller keeps mission setup and flight supervision in the field team’s hands. L50 sits above the L10 V2 and L30 V2 as the largest-capacity member of ABZ Innovation's current spraying range.
