Built for the terrain

Where access is difficult,
precision matters more.

FEHNIX delivers commercial aerial operations across farms, stations and productive landscapes. We combine capable aircraft, field knowledge and application data to deliver better outcomes—with less disturbance and clear operational records.

Based in Havelock North, FEHNIX operates throughout Hawke’s Bay and considers suitable commercial projects across the wider North Island. See where FEHNIX operates

The challenge

The owners were returning a seven-hectare paddock to native vegetation. A ground crew had manually sprayed around individual plants the previous year, but results were inconsistent. Grass remained established across the paddock and was beginning to smother the young natives.

The FEHNIX solution

FEHNIX treated the entire restoration area, applying a selective herbicide across the full paddock by drone. This controlled the competing grasses without the time and labour required to spray around each plant individually.

Creating space for regeneration

The whole-field application delivered more consistent coverage and reduced competition around the native plants. With better access to light, moisture and nutrients, the plantings were given the space needed to establish and grow.
