Drones help agriculture improve quality and efficiency

Recently, in Nongkan Village, Zhefang Town, Mangshi, three drones were used to control rice diseases and insect pests under the operation of the operator. The mist-like pesticides were scattered in the rice fields along with the airflow, and the dispensing staff were at the required distance. The dispensing work was carried out 50 meters away from the sprayed rice field, and in a short time, a large area of ​​rice was sprayed.

Li Yanmenbao is a villager in Nongkan Village. Every June and July, the 10 mu of rice grown at home starts to be sprayed with pesticides to prevent pests and diseases from damaging the crops. In the past, the couple took three or four days to finish spraying, but now after using the drone, it can be completed in more than 10 minutes.

“After using drones, the management of the rice fields has greatly reduced the labor force, and we can do odd jobs to increase our income in the free time. The drones free our hands and are our good helpers.” Li Yan was very happy. say.

In recent years, relying on the central disaster relief funds, Mangshi has actively carried out the unified prevention and control of drones and green prevention and control technology. At present, UAV prevention and control technology has been carried out in 10,000 mu of rice fields. The work volume of a drone can reach 300 acres. If it is replaced by labor, a strong laborer can only work at most about 5 acres a day, and it is also limited by the weather.

It is understood that unmanned aerial vehicle application is an emerging technology for the prevention and control of crop diseases and insect pests that has been promoted in Mangshi in recent years. Compared with the traditional methods of artificial fertilization and pesticide application, it has higher technical content, higher application efficiency and better effect. It is the inevitable direction of improving the quality and efficiency of agricultural plant protection in the future. Compared with manpower, the advantages of drone prevention and control are more prominent, greatly reducing labor costs, not only saving water consumption, but also effectively solving the problems of pesticide residues and soil water pollution, achieving the effect of separation of human and medicine, safety and environmental protection. It only takes 2 minutes to spray medicine per mu, and the cost is about 15 yuan. The drone spraying operation keeps people away from the spraying environment and avoids the danger of poisoning. The special preparations used have increased the utilization rate of pesticides by more than 30%, and also changed the previous single-family, single-family, small-area agricultural work, 1 person Manipulating the spraying mode of one person dispensing not only frees the labor force of farmers, but also reduces the burden on farmers, and provides more reliable technical force for the development of green agriculture.

In recent years, Mang City has taken a number of measures to focus on the goal of a bumper grain harvest and farmers’ income increase. It has introduced drone operations to carry out early warning, monitoring and control of crop diseases and insect pests. The agricultural department of Mang City has successively carried out drone spraying control in rice, corn, sugarcane, flue-cured tobacco and tea gardens in Zhefang Town, Fengping Town, Xishan Township and other townships. recognized
