Unmanned aerial vehicle flight prevention operation to ensure high-quality and high-yield rice in Majiang

Three minutes, seven minutes in charge. At present, it is the critical period for rice growth and the best period for Pest control. In recent days, Majiang County has made full use of UAV flight control operations for plant protection to carry out rice Pest control, laying a solid foundation for food production and harvest.

Entering Lepingba District, Bamang Township, the agricultural plant protection UAV is shuttling back and forth in the paddy field according to the planned route. The huge air flow under the rotor impels the pesticide mist flow to spread evenly, spray it accurately on the rice leaves, and carry out high-quality and efficient field management and Pest control fine and intelligent work.

A plant protection drone can operate 200 to 300 acres per day, which is 20 to 30 times more than manual labor. It has high efficiency, good prevention and control effects, and saves labor and time, “said Sun Lin, the head of the plant protection station of the County Agriculture and Rural Bureau. In addition, Majiang County also organized technical personnel to conduct field survey and monitoring irregularly to guide farmers to do a good job in rice field management and consolidate the foundation of food security in an all-round way.
In recent years, Majiang County has always carried out the strategy of “storing grain on the ground and storing grain in technology” throughout the whole process of standardized rice planting, vigorously promoted scientific and technological planting means such as mechanical seedling planting, unmanned aerial vehicle management and mechanized harvesting, and planted “scientific and technological wings” for grain production, so as to make the road of rural revitalization more solid and wider. It is understood that in 2023, the grain planting area of Majiang County will be 109000 mu, with an estimated output of more than 67000 tons, and the comprehensive mechanization rate of planting and harvesting of major crops will reach 60%.
