Unmanned aerial vehicles “on duty” demonstrate the “technological style” of high standard farmland

On August 3rd, over the farmland of Lidian Group in Taohu Community, Xiatang Town, Changfeng County, Hefei City, a drone, under the control of professional personnel, flexibly flew and shuttled back and forth along the planned route at low altitude. Accompanied by the buzzing sound of rotor rotation, fertilizer was sprayed from the nozzle of the fuselage and evenly sprinkled into the rice field.

This drone is really a good thing. This year, under the leadership of the community, after the hardening of canals, land leveling, and the continuous planning of farmland transfer, we have also used this high-tech technology. Now, fertilization and pesticide spraying are fast and evenly distributed, saving time, effort, and money. “Grain grower Song Liping said happily.

Through the construction of high standard farmland projects, previously scattered small fields have been connected into patches. According to villager Wang, in the past, many fields have become depressions due to poor drainage. Nowadays, thanks to the promotion of high standard farmland projects, “palm fields” have been transformed into contiguous large paddy fields, equipped with drainage and irrigation ditches, creating conditions for achieving mechanization of cultivation, planting, management, and harvesting.

Since 2023, Taohu Community has been based on reality and fully played the leading role of party building. With the construction of the Taohu section of the Dahugang Water Conservancy Project as the starting point, it has explored the advantages of land resources, concentrated and integrated high-quality farmland, and seized the “golden period” of construction. Efforts have been made to create high-quality farmland with concentrated and contiguous areas, supporting facilities, good ecology, and strong disaster resistance capabilities, helping to increase agricultural efficiency and farmers’ income, and comprehensively promoting the revitalization of rural areas empowered by technology, Assist in the sustainable development of the agricultural industry.

At present, it is a critical period for rice management and protection. The agricultural technicians in Xiatang Town have gone deep into the fields to guide and promote new technologies for disease and pest control. They have also guided large farmers to use plant protection drones and other means to spray biological pesticides and fertilizers on the rice fields, strengthen field management, and ensure stable and increased rice production.

Next, Taohu Community in Xiatang Town will continue to introduce and promote new agricultural planting technologies and models, fully leveraging the synergistic effect of technology in promoting rural revitalization, focusing on agricultural technology needs, accurately monitoring the pulse, and bringing new agricultural technologies to the doorstep, bringing scientific and technological achievements to the fields, helping to increase agricultural production and farmers’ income, making technology a strong driving force for agricultural development.
