Drones give agriculture the wings of technology

Recently, a plant protection drone has been carried out in the Beizhai test base in Laoshan District. The hilly and mountainous orchard environment flight defense test has been summarized and sorted out. The application experience of mountain plant protection drones that do not change the route to avoid obstacles in front of the mountain will help the development of smart plant protection technology. Develop and upgrade.

With the rapid development of the fruit industry, the intelligent requirements for mechanical operations are also getting higher and higher. However, the fruit industry is mostly distributed in hills, mountains, terraced fields, complex geographical environment, and poor safety and stability during the operation of machinery and tools, which has become a serious constraint to agriculture. The bottleneck for the overall improvement of automation and intelligence.

In order to explore the application of plant protection drones in complex orchard environments such as hills and mountains, reduce labor input, and improve operational efficiency and protection effects, the National Apple Industry Technology System Qingdao Comprehensive Test Station and the UAV Company jointly organized a fruit tea at the Qingdao Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Sobei Homestead has carried out plant protection and flight control tests in mountain orchards with a slope of 30°-45° and complex obstacle environments.

The test data shows that the new technologies such as environment perception technology, night flight lighting system, and mist nozzles equipped with global perception intelligent drones are highly adaptable to hilly and mountainous terrain. The same operation of 1 mu of land saves 10 hours of time compared to manual sprayers. It has the characteristics of uniform spraying, continuous and efficient operation, and good control effect, which can better meet the plant protection requirements of mountain orchards, and has broad application in complex orchard environments such as mountains prospect.

Apple Industry Technology System Qingdao Comprehensive Experiment Station The “Qingzhen” series of apple apomixis rootstocks have developed the intensive cultivation technology of apple dwarf stocks and the comprehensive control technology of pests and diseases, which provides effective scientific and technological support for the sustainable development of the apple industry.
