Agricultural technology drones hit pesticide “fire”

It’s good to use drones to spray pesticides. I easily finished half a month’s work in more than an hour, not only grabbing the time, but also saving a lot of labor costs and pesticide money. “Wu Yilin, a major grain grower in Zhangxia Village, Yongfu Town, Yongfu County, looked at the more than 100 acres of rice fields he had planted and expressed emotion about the benefits of technology to help farmers. The reporter learned that Yongfu County has vigorously promoted agricultural technology, and more than 30 major grain farmers have used Human-machine operation and the popularization and use of modern agricultural machinery have become a new engine for the development of local agricultural economy.

It is understood that under the vigorous promotion of Yongfu County Agricultural Mechanization Service Center, more and more growers have experienced the operation of agricultural drones, and they have truly felt the convenience and benefits brought by agricultural drones spraying potions. A loyal “fan” of agricultural drones. Wu Yilin calculated an account. In the past, it took 13 days for one person to fight 100 acres of rice fields manually, and the labor cost was about 2,000 yuan, plus the medicine fee of 2,500 yuan, which cost a total of 4,500 yuan. In contrast, the 100-mu paddy field with agricultural drones is completed in one hour, the service fee is 1,000 yuan, and the medicine fee is 1,600 yuan. The total cost is only 2,600 yuan. The drone spraying medicine saves nearly 2,000 yuan compared with manual spraying. Therefore, ordinary people are of course more willing to use drones. In addition, the use of drones to spray medicine has many advantages, such as faster response to pests and diseases, safer separation of human and medicine, and efficient reduction of soil and water pollution.

According to Wei Yang, general manager of Yongfu County Xiaobaichoi Agriculture, Forestry and Plant Protection Professional Cooperative, due to the relatively high price of agricultural drones, the market price of a drone is about 60,000 yuan, and the national agricultural machinery purchase subsidy is about 12,000 yuan. In order to control costs and reduce expenses, most farmers generally do not buy them themselves, but find cooperatives to rent drones for operation. The cooperative currently has a total of 14 UAV equipment, and has been operating UAV rental since 2018, specifically providing field operation services for farmers, charging service fees according to the standard. The cooperative dispatches specialized technical personnel to be responsible for controlling the drone throughout the process, and provides technical training and guidance for farmers free of charge, and farmers only need to pay a certain service fee. At present, the cooperative’s drone operation has expanded from simply spraying medicine to sowing, fertilizing and other purposes. The function research and development has become more and more perfect, and its use in agricultural production has become more and more extensive. Only in 2021, the cooperative’s drone operation area Up to 62,000 mu.

In recent years, Yongfu County has vigorously implemented agricultural machinery purchase subsidies, actively traveled to villages and villages to publicize the agricultural machinery purchase subsidy policy, and made full allowances for farmers who purchased agricultural machinery. Farmers conduct training and effect demonstrations, so that farmers in the county can better understand the operation of agricultural machinery, so that more farmers can feel the new changes in modern agricultural mechanization, convenience and efficiency, and are more willing to use agricultural machinery. According to statistics, in 2021, Yongfu County will use a total of 2.80135 million yuan of central subsidy funds, and complete 116.7% of the 2.4 million yuan of performance appraisal funds. The county will subsidize 595 sets of machinery and tools throughout the year, and farmers can effectively enjoy the progress and innovation of agricultural technology. ‘s dividend. At present, the comprehensive mechanization level of farming and harvesting in the county has reached 69.56%, and the promotion and use of modern agricultural machinery has become a new engine for the development of the county’s agricultural economy.
