Drone “fly defense” operation helps to stabilize agricultural production and increase income

At the rice planting demonstration site in Wenfeng Village, Pinglang Town, the agricultural technicians of the Municipal Agriculture and Rural Bureau loaded the mixed pesticides into the drone’s medicine box, and the technicians of Qiannan Jifei Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd. began remote control drone takeoff operations. Accompanied by bursts of roaring sound, the drone flew steadily into the spraying area according to the set working route. The spraying head under the fuselage sprayed white atomized pesticides, accurately and evenly spraying them onto every leaf of rice.

Meng Qingguo, the deputy director of Wenfeng Village, Pinglang Town, said, “The flight prevention service of the Municipal Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs is really timely. It has grasped the key period of Pest control and laid a solid foundation for the stable grain production and income increase of Wenfeng Village.”

At the demonstration site of soybean corn belt compound planting and sorghum planting in Pinglang Village, Pinglang Town, the agricultural technicians of the Municipal Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs explained the Pest control knowledge of soybean, corn, sorghum and other major crops to the villagers on the spot, and demonstrated the flight control operations.

“Compared with the traditional manual spray, the plant protection UAV sprays more evenly, with higher efficiency and lower control costs. It can achieve large-scale and standardized operations, and can also reduce the pollution of pesticides on the field environment and crops to ensure crop safety and ecological safety. This time, we have completed more than 500 mu of Pest control pilot operations in Pinglang Village and Wenfeng Village of Pinglang Town.” Qin Anrong, deputy head of plant protection station of Plantation development center of municipal agricultural and rural bureau, said.

In order to do a good job in crop field management, since May, the Municipal Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has organized agricultural technicians to go deep into the field to check the growth of crops, study the law of disease occurrence, actively carry out technical guidance and training on Pest control, and constantly strengthen technical tracking services, so as to achieve household control information, field technical guidance, and individual control strategies. At the same time, a demonstration of plant protection drone flight prevention will be carried out, radiating and driving the unified prevention and control of crop diseases and pests throughout the city, ensuring stable grain production and increased income throughout the year.
