Agricultural, forestry, and plant protection is the fastest developing direction of drone application in recent years. Farmers in Northeast China, Hunan, Shandong, and other places have been trying to use drones to assist in completing agricultural affairs for several years.Open NetEase News to view exciting picturesIt can be said that in the current era of promoting the continuous development of new agriculture, plant protection drones are an essential tool for new farmers in the new era. Next, let’s take a look at what functions drones can achieve when applied to agriculture!Spraying pesticidesWhen it comes to agricultural and forestry plant protection drones, most of them cannot do without pest control business, commonly known as pesticide spraying. Compared to manually completing pest control tasks, drones can achieve separation between humans and drugs, effectively ensuring the safety of construction personnel, while improving pesticide utilization rate, avoiding damage and seedling pressure, achieving the goal of reducing pesticide damage and controlling pests, improving quality and yield.Open NetEase News to view exciting picturesIt takes approximately 10 skilled farmers 2-3 days to manually complete the 1000 acre wheat pest control task. However, if two drones are used to complete the same task, even from surveying, planning routes, dispensing, and final operations, the entire process only takes less than 4 hours.Sowing and fertilizationIf spraying pesticides is the most basic ability of plant protection drones, then sowing and fertilizing can be considered as the advanced ability of plant protection drones. By loading a sowing module on the plant protection drone, it can be equipped with the ability to sow and fertilize.Open NetEase News to view exciting picturesThe Fengcun Vegetable Professional Cooperative in Daping Township, Nankang District, Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province once conducted an experiment, which also covered 3.6 acres of land. In the past, 13 farmers needed to transplant seedlings for an afternoon to complete the sowing. But using a drone, it took less than 5 minutes to complete the sowing of 3.6 acres of rice fields.In fact, using drones for seeding can not only reduce labor costs, but also reduce the process of seedling cultivation and transplantation, which not only improves efficiency but also saves costs.Growth detectionWith the development of technology, many things that were done through experience in farmland in the past have already had quantitative standards. Nowadays, all we need to do is equip drones with multispectral imaging systems, and then use remote sensing image processing systems to identify them. We can quickly determine the growth status of plants.Open NetEase News to view exciting picturesIn the past, relying on manual field patrols resulted in less than 100 acres of land being patrolled in an hour, which was not only inefficient but also not precise enough. Nowadays, as long as you control a multispectral drone to fly around the cotton field, you can obtain a multispectral map of the growth of thousands of acres of cotton, accurately determining the growth trend of cotton in different regions.On this basis, if a smart agricultural system is used to generate a prescription map for pesticide spraying and import it into a drone, variable spraying of growth agents or control agents can be achieved.Open NetEase News to view exciting picturesIn addition to being able to “tailor the medicine to the case”, precise application based on the “prescription map” can also effectively reduce the amount of medication used. Taking spraying defoliant operations as an example, compared to undifferentiated defoliant operations in the same area, the actual measurement can save 30% of medication and be more environmentally friendly to the land.PostscriptThe emergence of plant protection drones has liberated farmers from repetitive labor in the past, fundamentally improving the efficiency of planting work, allowing them to manage more arable land in a shorter period of time, thereby increasing the benefits of planting.Open NetEase News to view exciting picturesExperts predict that by 2025, the demand for drone plant protection practitioners will be 400000, indicating that the drone market for plant protection has huge market prospects.And there are reports that the treatment for plant protection pilots is also relatively high, with a general commission of 3 yuan per mu. Under normal circumstances, working on 300 to 500 mu per day can earn 900 to 1500 yuan per day, and the monthly income can reach around 30000 yuan.I believe that in the future, we will witness more possibilities of drones, and we can also use drones to achieve more impossible things!
