In current years, drone technology has been vigorous in the industry. For example, in
agriculture, the drone was involved, such as precision agriculture monitoring, soil, field
analysis, planting crops, crop monitoring, etc. Therefore, this paper aims to evaluate the
performance container toward granule distribution via a spreader drone. The objective is
to measure the container's capacity and efficiency that use as a medium to distribute the
granules. In this study, two different granule size-types were prepared to research by
utilizing the grid system area as big as 80 inches x 120 inches. This grid system was set in
nine (9) plots in the same regions for study observation. Plus, two types of height have
been used, which is 1.2 meter and 2.0 meter. From the result, the capability of the
container distributor was achieved by granules distributed uniformly. The findings have
been derived from experimental, the all granules type has shown a fair distribution,
especially at 2.0 meter and has covered more than 88% at all area observation.
