Technology empowers smart agricultural drones to protect

Right now is a critical period for cotton growth, and it is also a critical period for the prevention and control of cotton diseases and insect pests. In order to do a good job in the green plant protection of cotton, Guazhou County adheres to the prevention and control strategy of “prevention first, proactive attack, unified defense rule, and comprehensive coverage”, vigorously promotes the “smart agricultural machinery” of drone plant protection, and allows plant protection drones to “fly”. “Go to the field to be a good “plant protection officer” to ensure that the disease is contained in the germination state, and the 240,000 mu of cotton in the county is guaranteed.

At present, cotton is in the boll stage, which is the key period for the formation of high-quality cotton peach. Controlling cotton diseases and insect pests through drones can not only reduce the amount of pesticides and environmental pollution, but also greatly improve the control efficiency and reduce the labor intensity of cotton farmers, fundamentally protect the farmland ecological environment, ensure the quality and safety of agricultural products, and protect cotton. of bountiful harvest.

In recent years, Guazhou County has closely focused on the overall requirements of land intensification, industrial scale, and planting technology, and has fully implemented the “machine cotton replacement” project of the county party committee and county government, with professional cooperatives as the traction, high-standard farmland construction as the carrier, Focusing on the construction of standardized bases, 8 machine-picked cotton planting bases of more than 5,000 mu have been built in Guazhou Town, Nancha Town and Xihu Town. Widely promote the application of advanced new technologies and new machinery such as drone plant protection operations, and achieve the goal of unified control and governance of 100% full coverage of plant protection through reduction, consumption control, and damage control to improve efficiency. In addition, through the large-scale application of plant protection technology, precise and precise spraying of cotton field pests and diseases has been achieved, providing strong technical support for the prevention and control of pests and weeds, and further promoting the high-quality development of the machine-picking cotton industry in Guazhou County.

Today, UAV plant protection operations have been widely promoted and applied in Guazhou County. The busy figures of farmers in the vast fields are decreasing day by day, and the scenes of UAV and various machinery operations are increasing day by day. With the continuous improvement of quality and growth in the development of modern agriculture in Guazhou, technology has made more and more farmers “new farmers”
