“If it is artificial fertilization and pesticide application, we generally need 30 people to work on more than 600 mu of land here, and it takes more than 20 days of work. It takes more than 60 people to do weeding for half a month. Now that we have drones, The 600 mu of land will be finished in three or two days.” Wan Peilong said excitedly. It is reported that compared with traditional artificial sprayers, low-altitude spraying of pesticides by drones has the characteristics of simple operation, fast speed, high efficiency, low cost, and large-scale operations. It not only reduces the waste of pesticide resources, but also solves the problem of rural labor shortage. .
