Drone assisted tobacco farmers in increasing their income

At present, it is a time when flue-cured tobacco has been flourishing for a long time, with high incidence of diseases and pests. In order to achieve the rule of unified prevention and effectively ensure the stable yield and bumper harvest of flue-cured tobacco, recently, Xiaoxiang Street, Qilin District, in conjunction with the professional planting and protection team of Yuezhou Yufeng Tobacco Farmers Cooperative, used drones to carry out the unified prevention of diseases and pests on more than 1100 mu of flue-cured tobacco in the core area of Xiaoxiang Street Limekiln.

The drone has high operational efficiency and good pesticide atomization, which is more conducive to the absorption of tobacco plants. It can effectively reduce the amount of drugs used and the pollution caused by drugs to the environment. In addition, the drone has a strong wind force during flight, which can drive the tobacco leaves to fluctuate up and down, allowing drugs to be sprayed on both the front and back of the tobacco leaves, ensuring the effectiveness of medication. The operation implements separation of people and drugs, avoiding the cross transmission of diseases and pests, and reducing harm to operators.

In the past, we could only spray 5 to 10 acres of pesticides per day alone, but now drones can spray around 60 acres per hour, greatly saving us tobacco farmers time and making their work easier, “sighed Yang Shuliang, a railway tobacco farmer on the lime kiln.

Xiaoxiang Street conscientiously implements the plant protection policy of “prevention first, comprehensive prevention and control” and the concept of “green plant protection, public plant protection”, with the goal of increasing tobacco production, efficiency, and farmers’ income, vigorously promoting the application of green prevention and control technology, reducing the use of chemical pesticides, and laying a solid foundation for this year’s tobacco harvest.
