Plant protection drones carry out rice pest control to ensure increased income for farmers

Currently, rice is gradually entering the tillering stage, which is also a key period for controlling rice diseases and pests. To reduce the pollution of pesticides on the environment, reduce the labor intensity of farmers, and achieve the goal of unified prevention and control of diseases and pests. In recent days, Kaili City Agricultural and Rural Bureau has promoted plant protection drones to carry out the unified control of rice pests and diseases.

At the demonstration sites for creating high yield rice in Qingjiang Village, Longchang Village, and Shihua Village in Bibo Town, it was observed that under the remote control command of professional operators, plant protection drones carried pesticides flying over the rice field. The compressed air flow under the aircraft propeller highly atomized the pesticide, evenly covering the rice leaves with pesticides, effectively preventing and controlling rice diseases and pests such as rice leaf roller and rice planthopper.

It is understood that low altitude pesticide spraying by plant protection drones is a new technology that meets the needs of modern agriculture and plant protection. Compared with the traditional manual spray, it generally saves about 20% of pesticides. The use of UAVs for plant protection operations has the characteristics of simple operation, fast speed, high efficiency, low cost, uniform spraying, good atomization effect, safety and environmental protection, and information management. It not only solves the problem of rural labor shortage, but also can fundamentally control the type, dosage, application time, etc. of drugs without re spraying or missing spraying, It can effectively reduce pesticide residues, improve pesticide utilization efficiency, achieve scientific, reasonable, and safe use of pesticides, and play a promoting role in reducing production costs and promoting increased production and income.
