Unmanned aerial vehicles make their debut in the fields, liberating villagers’ hands

Recently, in Xijiakou Village, Liangtou Town, Jinghai District, Tianjin, a DJI T40 (40 liter) drone was buzzing, spraying pesticides back and forth. The technologically advanced drone appeared in the fields of ordinary people’s homes, becoming a beautiful scenic spot in the fields.

At present, it is a critical period for the management of late sown corn, and also an important period for pest control. Xijiakou Village employs drones to spray pesticides for villagers free through the collective investment of the village, and pest control is carried out on nearly 1000 mu of late sown corn.

In the farmland of Xijiakou Village, with the completion of the intelligent operation program, the plant protection drone slowly circled and rose, shuttling back and forth along the pre set “route” program, spraying the medicinal liquid onto the crop leaves. The entire process not only ensures that the corn receives medication evenly, improves pesticide utilization efficiency, but also is efficient and fast, which is popular among villagers.

In the past, we used to carry spray to spray, which was laborious and time-consuming. Now the village has found drones to spray for us, which is fast and good, and reduces our burden. ” Li Yaoshu, a corn planter in Xijiakou Village, Liangtou Town, lamented the convenience and speed of drones as he looked at them.

New technologies have greatly increased the scientificity of field management, while new equipment has doubled the efficiency of operations. Compared with the traditional manual spray, the plant protection UAV can complete 150 mu of work area in one hour, which is about 50 times the efficiency of manual work. The pesticide spraying of late sown corn on nearly 1000 mu of land only took one day to complete, greatly improving the effect of pest control and reducing the agricultural production burden of villagers.

For a long time, focusing on the goal of grain harvest and farmers’ income increase, Xijiakou Village has always tightened its food security and taken multiple measures. In the process of solid crop pest control, farmland drainage and other work have been prepared simultaneously, laying a solid foundation for autumn grain harvest.

Li Kai, Secretary of the Party Branch and Director of the Village Committee of Xijiakou Village, Liangtou Town, said, “On the basis of preventing and controlling diseases and pests, we rent six water pumps to uniformly drain the villagers’ waterlogging when the rain is heavy. After the late planting of corn matures, the village will also actively contact sales channels for the villagers, take multiple measures to help farmers solve agricultural production problems, promote agricultural efficiency, and increase farmers’ income
