Protecting Your Crop Starts With the Right Spraying Partner
Spraytech Group delivers professional fungal and disease control spraying services for vineyards, orchards, vegetable producers, and broadacre cropping operations across northern NSW and southern QLD. Fungal disease is one of the most costly and damaging threats facing high-value horticultural crops in Australia – and in the cool, high-rainfall growing conditions of the New England Tablelands and Granite Belt, disease pressure is a seasonal reality that growers cannot afford to ignore. Missing a spray timing window, applying the wrong fungicide chemistry, or under-dosing at a critical crop growth stage can result in significant yield loss, reduced fruit quality, and potential market rejection. Our experienced and licensed agricultural spraying services team works with growers to develop seasonal disease management programs that hit the right targets, at the right time, with the right product – giving your crop the best possible protection from season to season.
Fungal Disease Control for Vineyards & the Granite Belt Wine Region
The Granite Belt wine region around Stanthorpe is one of Queensland’s most significant viticultural areas, and managing fungal disease pressure in vineyards is a year-round priority for grape growers across the district. Botrytis bunch rot, powdery mildew, and downy mildew are the three most common and economically damaging fungal diseases affecting Granite Belt vineyards, and effective control requires precise spray timing aligned with vine growth stages, weather conditions, and disease risk forecasts. Spraytech Group’s fungal and disease control spraying programs for vineyards are designed around these requirements, using registered fungicides applied at label rates by our licensed herbicide spraying contractor team. Our agriculture drone spraying services are particularly effective in vineyard environments, delivering even canopy penetration and precise inter-row application without the soil compaction and vine damage risks associated with ground equipment. For Stanthorpe and Granite Belt grape growers, we are your local, experienced, and fully equipped disease control spraying partner.
Stonefruit & Orchard Disease Management Across NSW & QLD
Stonefruit orchards – including peaches, nectarines, plums, and cherries – face significant fungal disease challenges throughout the growing season, from brown rot and leaf curl in early spring through to post-harvest disease management programs. Spraytech Group provides tailored fungal disease control spraying programs for stonefruit and apple orchards across the Glen Innes, Armidale, Tenterfield, and Stanthorpe regions, working with orchard managers to schedule fungicide applications around critical growth stages, weather events, and harvest timing requirements. Our farm spraying services Australia capability covers both drone and ground-based application methods, allowing us to select the most appropriate delivery method for each orchard block based on canopy structure, row spacing, and terrain. Correct fungicide rotation is built into every program we design, reducing the risk of resistance development and ensuring long-term disease control efficacy for your orchard operation.
Broadacre Crop Disease Control & Fungicide Programs
Fungal disease is not limited to horticultural crops – broadacre grain growers across the Inverell, Armidale, and New England districts also face significant disease pressure from rust, septoria, sclerotinia, and crown rot in wheat, barley, canola, and chickpea crops. Spraytech Group provides fungicide spraying programs for broadacre cropping operations, applying registered products at the correct timing and rate to protect yield and grain quality. Our farm weed control services and fungicide programs are often delivered in the same seasonal visit, reducing mobilisation costs and making the most of suitable spray weather windows. For broadacre grain growers searching for agricultural spraying services near them in the New England and Northern Tablelands region, our local team delivers fast, reliable, and properly documented spraying programs that meet the requirements of crop insurance, grain receival standards, and chemical withholding period obligations.
Drone Spraying for Precision Disease Control
One of the biggest challenges in fungal disease control spraying is achieving consistent canopy penetration and coverage across the entire crop – particularly in vineyards, orchards, and dense-canopy horticultural crops where ground equipment struggles to deliver product evenly through foliage. Spraytech Group’s agriculture drone spraying services address this challenge directly, using low-altitude precision flight paths to deliver fungicide applications with excellent canopy penetration and minimal off-target drift. Drone spraying for disease control is particularly effective during critical pre-flowering and bunch closure growth stages in vineyards, where even coverage across the entire canopy is essential to protect against botrytis and powdery mildew infection. Our CASA-certified drone pilots plan every fungicide flight around the specific crop growth stage, target disease, and weather forecast to ensure every application delivers maximum protection for your investment.

Frequently Asked Questions Agricultural Farm Spraying
Q: What fungal diseases does Spraytech Group treat in vineyards and orchards?
Spraytech Group treats a wide range of fungal diseases including botrytis bunch rot, powdery mildew, downy mildew, brown rot, leaf curl, rust, and sclerotinia across vineyards, orchards, and broadacre crops. Our programs are tailored to the specific crop, growth stage, and regional disease pressure in northern NSW and southern QLD.
Q: Do you use drone spraying for fungal disease control?
Yes. Our CASA-certified agriculture drone spraying services are highly effective for fungal disease control in vineyards and orchards, delivering precise canopy penetration and even coverage without the soil compaction and crop damage risks associated with ground equipment. Drone spraying is particularly effective at critical spray timing windows like pre-flowering and bunch closure in vineyards.
Q: How important is spray timing for fungal disease control?
Spray timing is critical for effective fungal disease management. Missing a key application window -0 particularly around flowering, bunch closure, or post-harvest – can result in significant disease establishment that becomes very difficult to control later in the season. Spraytech Group works with growers to plan and schedule fungicide applications around crop growth stages, weather forecasts, and disease risk periods.
Q: Do you provide fungicide programs for broadacre crops like wheat and canola?
Yes. We provide fungicide spraying programs for broadacre grain crops including wheat, barley, canola, and chickpeas across the Inverell, Armidale, and New England districts. Our programs target rust, septoria, sclerotinia, and crown rot at the correct timing and rates to protect yield and grain quality.
Q: What documentation do you provide after a fungicide spray job?
Full spray records are provided for every job including product name and registration number, application rate, date and time of treatment, weather conditions, operator licence details, and GPS-tracked coverage maps. This documentation supports your chemical use records, withholding period compliance, and food safety certification requirements.
Q: What areas do you service for fungal and disease control spraying?
We service vineyards, orchards, and cropping properties across Stanthorpe and the Granite Belt, Glen Innes, Armidale, Tenterfield, Inverell, and the broader New England Tablelands and Northern Rivers regions of NSW and QLD.
