Drone assisted efficient farming operations

Recently, in the rice planting base of Gaotan Village, Fuhuan Town, Qijiang District, a UAV was spraying pesticides, and the foggy pesticides were scattered in the green rice fields with the airflow.

Currently, over 1000 acres of rice in Dashiban Village, Xiaojuandong Village, and Gaotan Village of the town are in a critical period of growth. Fuhuan Town Agricultural Service Center actively contacts third-party companies to use drones for plant protection and flight prevention, achieving cost savings, efficient prevention and control, and assisting farmers in increasing income.

Artificial spraying of up to 10 acres of land throughout the day is not only tiring but also inefficient, “said rice grower Ou Xiangfu. Using drone plant protection technology can complete the pesticide spraying task of 10 acres of rice in ten minutes.

Farmers use conventional equipment to spray pesticides, and the fineness of the liquid can only reach 200-800 microns, with a utilization rate of only about 45%. “Zhao Xiangkai, director of the Agricultural Service Center in Fuhuan Town, introduced that using drone plant protection technology, the fineness of the liquid can be increased to 10-100 microns, and the utilization rate of the liquid can be increased to over 90%. A single machine can spray more than 150 acres per day.

In Fuhuan Town, drones have gradually been put into use in various stages such as seed sowing and fertilization.

We will make good use of technology equipment such as drones, so that farmers can personally enjoy the convenience brought by technology, actively build a modern mountain characteristic and efficient agricultural system, and effectively ensure national food security, “said the relevant person in charge of Fuhuan Town.
