Popularizing drone technology to promote modern planting

From July 6th to 8th, the practice group went through the streets and alleys to understand the local people’s understanding and use of drone plant protection technology through various methods such as questionnaire surveys, case interviews, and typical excavations, as well as the current development status of the tea industry in Fenghuang Town. The research team visited villagers in Dongxing Village and Zhaixia Village door-to-door. They distributed drone survey questionnaires to understand the local villagers’ awareness and recognition of agricultural plant protection drones. They used drone promotional manuals to popularize the basic uses and operational efficiency of plant protection drones to villagers, and improved their understanding and recognition of plant protection drones.

In order to popularize the application of drones to the hearts of the general public, members of the volunteer teaching group of the practice group transmitted the knowledge of drone application to Phoenix Town through flexible and varied forms such as centralized teaching and decentralized science popularization. They used drone promotional manuals to popularize the basic uses and operational efficiency of plant protection drones to villagers, and improved their understanding of plant protection drones.

Lin Xiaoyan, secretary of the Youth League Committee of the Robotics Institute, said that this practical action is not only a useful attempt for science and engineering students to show their knowledge and skills, use their Epistemic feedback to give back to the society, and help the rural revitalization, but also a way for students to understand the local conditions, temper their character and will, and enrich their social experience.
