Chemicals are labeled to have minimum rates of application, you can't put them on lighter it's against the law. The bulk of chemicals rates are 30 litre/Ha total volume.
The usual spray capacity for aircraft now is between 1800 and 3000 litres.
Yamaha have been leasing commercial drones for years, their capacity is around 30 litres I think. They have not taken over contrary to previous predictions.
