At present, it is a critical period for rice growth and a high incidence period of diseases and pests. Recently, in the rice planting area of Tianli Village in Laoxin Town, Yu Qizhi, the director of the Agricultural Technology Promotion Service Center of the town, popularized rice disease and pest control knowledge for villagers Rao Dunwu.
We are currently in the period of rice breakthrough, and it is the best time for us to control rice planthoppers, sheath blight, rice smut and other pests and diseases. We use pesticides such as chlorpyrifos, Bacillus thuringiensis, imidacloprid, pyrazid, and thiamethoxam to apply them in the morning and evening when the temperature is low. Through precise application of plant protection drones, we effectively carry out green prevention and control of rice pests and diseases, unified prevention and control work, and ensure food production safety. “Yu Qizhi said.
On the side, agricultural technicians concocted potions and filled them with pesticides. The drone, under the remote control of the technicians, downloaded leaf fertilizer and took off steadily, shuttling over the paddy fields, spraying the pesticides evenly on the rice leaves.
Today, agricultural machinery technicians used drones to help us fly defense operations, saving us a lot of time. Previously, manual sowing on 10 acres of land took a whole day to complete, but now it’s only 3 hours to solve it, “said villager Rao Dunwu.
Zhang Tao, director of the Agricultural Machinery Promotion Center in Laoxin Town, introduced that the workload of drones in a day is 100 manual operations compared to the same period last year. Compared to traditional manual sowing, flight prevention operations have more advantages in terms of operational accuracy, reducing pesticide dosage, improving application accuracy, liquid penetration, and prevention and control efficiency. They truly do not leave blind spots, greatly improving operational efficiency and control quality, and are important technical means for implementing pesticide reduction and efficiency enhancement.
In recent years, Laoxin Town has adhered to the implementation of the strategy of “storing grain in the land and storing grain in technology”, high-quality promotion of high standard farmland construction, and vigorous promotion of agricultural “three new” technologies. This year, a total of 88400 acres of high standard farmland have been constructed in Laoxin Town, and drone defense accounts for 50% of the total.
