Unmanned aerial vehicles spray chemicals to prop up “protective umbrella” for thousands of acres of Protection forest

Recently, in the forest belt on both sides of the East Ring Road in Tuanjie Town, Yuli County, Xinjiang, accompanied by bursts of propeller buzzing, the plant protection UAV spraying chemicals flew at a constant speed along the forest belt under the control of technicians, and completed the pesticide spraying task of 40 mu forest belt in less than half an hour.

With the rise of temperature, various diseases, insects, and insect eggs will gradually recover. In order to effectively protect the Protection forest within the jurisdiction, Tuanjie Town, together with Yuli County Zhongwang Cotton Planting Professional Cooperative, uses drones to control harmful Biological pest control in the Protection forest by spraying pesticides to reduce or avoid the occurrence of pests.

Introduction of drone operator Liu Xingcheng: With the help of remote sensing data and positioning systems, unmanned aerial vehicles for plant protection can achieve close range and precise operations, avoiding issues such as missed spraying and re spraying. The airflow generated by the drone’s rotor during spraying operations helps increase the penetration of fog flow, and each tree can spray medicine. The unmanned aerial vehicle’s plant protection work area can reach 100 acres per hour, saving 40% of pesticides compared to traditional manual spraying, and the efficiency is more than 30 times that of traditional manual spraying There are many advantages in the process of operation, such as time saving, labor saving, and high safety

Ayeguli Rejifu, the head of Tuanjie Town Forestry Station, said: “Tuanjie Town has more than 1000 mu of Protection forest. The traditional manual spraying method is inefficient and uneven, which will affect the prevention and control effect. In case of insufficient manpower, it is easy to miss the best prevention and control period. This year, we took the initiative to connect with each other and use scientific and technological means to help forestry management, carry out drone spraying operations on Protection forest, and maintain the ecological protection achievements of our town.”

“Next, Tuanjie Town of Yuli County will also apply UAV technology to agricultural production fields such as plant growth monitoring, yield estimation, pest monitoring, field management, etc., enabling agricultural production through science and technology, and pressing the” fast forward “key for rural revitalization and agricultural development,” said Izmaiti Wufu, a member of the Tuanjie Town Party Committee, deputy mayor, and United Front Officer.
