Plant protection drones on duty to help stabilize production and increase income

In the farmland of Bijia Village, Jiujianlou Township, Wusu City, an agricultural plant protection UAV was flying smoothly under the control of the staff to carry out tomato Pest control. In less than 10 minutes, the pesticide spraying of 5 mu of tomato fields was completed.

In order to prevent crops from being attacked by diseases and insect pests and ensure stable crop production and income increase in autumn, the Political and Legal Committee of Wusu Municipal Party Committee, together with the Village Work Team of Cyberspace Office and the “two committees” of the village, coordinated the UAV for plant protection to continuously spray pesticides on crops in the area under its jurisdiction, and assisted the field management with scientific and technological means.

Plant protection drone operator Zhang Guangming said, “The use of plant protection drones can operate on an area of up to 100 acres per hour and spray pesticides on about 1000 acres per day, saving 30% of the pesticide compared to traditional manual spraying. The efficiency is also much higher than traditional manual operation

Li Jun, Secretary of the Party Branch of Bijia Village, Jiujianlou Township, said: At present, Bijia Village has used plant protection drones to prevent diseases and pests on over 10000 acres of land. Plant protection drones spray pesticides with characteristics such as fast speed, high efficiency, and large-scale operation, which can not only reduce labor costs but also improve pesticide utilization. At the same time, drone spraying can achieve separation of people and drugs, reduce contact between people and pesticides, reduce the risk of poisoning, and improve the safety of spraying.

Zhang Shuai, the first secretary and team leader of the “Visiting Huiju” team in Bijia Village, Jiujianlou Township, Wusu Municipal Committee of Political Science and Law and the Office of Cyberspace Affairs, said: “Our village team will continue to go deep into the field, actively collect the difficult appeals of the masses for field management, and coordinate with agricultural technicians to coordinate and solve them, so as to ensure that the farmers’ income will increase.”
