Drone plant protection and flight prevention are time-saving and labor-saving, with good results

In the season of fragrant rice ears, in the farmland of Pingling Street, the blue sky and white clouds, green mountains and waters, and paddy villages together form a colorful pastoral painting. Over the rice field in Zhulong Village, a plant protection UAV is flying under the skilled control of a flyer… The 2022 Tianhe Rice Plant Protection Flying Prevention pest control Observation Meeting for Longmen County is being held here. Technicians compared the effectiveness of demonstration fields with ordinary fields and explained to farmers the specific effectiveness of using plant protection drones to control major diseases and pests in rice.

It is understood that drone control of crop diseases and pests is a new technology that meets the needs of modern plant protection. Compared to traditional manual control, the integrated control of plant protection drones has the characteristics of fast speed, high efficiency, low cost, uniform spraying, good atomization effect, safety and environmental protection. By using drones, the workload of a few days can be completed in just a few hours, which not only helps farmers reduce labor costs and pesticide use, but also improves the effectiveness of prevention and control.

“This year I planted 40 mu of rice, 20 mu of which were sprayed by drones. Compared with the previous years, the whole field was sprayed evenly, and the leaf conservation rate also achieved good results.” Xu Jinrong, a major rice planter in Zhulong Village, used plant protection drones to carry out rice pest control. The rice field grew well and increased production and harvest. He could not help but give a thumbs up.
