A drone-based payload management system includes at least one drone and a drone controller, the drone(s) having first and second payload bays configured to store first and second payloads, respectively. The drone controller may be coupled with the payload bays and may comprise at least one processor and at least one computer readable memory. The memory(ies) may store software instructions executable by the processor(s) to perform operations including obtaining a location of the drone(s) while the drone(s) is deployed, determining a ground attribute value of a ground surface associated with the location, deriving, based on the ground attribute value, a payload ratio of a first amount of the first payload relative to a second amount of the second payload, and causing the first and second payload bays to release the first amount of the first payload and the second amount of the second payload respectively according to the payload ratio.
