Unmanned aerial vehicles take over field spraying technology to improve agricultural quality and efficiency

At present, it is a critical period for rice field management. In order to ensure stable and abundant rice production, in recent days, the Rongjiang New Area in Ganzhou has organized plant protection drones to spray pesticides on farmers, making high-tech machinery a “good helper” for improving the quality, efficiency, and green income of farmers’ grain production.

Buzzing… “In the rice field contracted by Zeng Qinghong, a major grain grower in Tandong Town, accompanied by the sound of drones, agricultural technicians are operating plant protection drones to spray pesticides on rice.

Mixing, loading, takeoff, spraying… Under the skilled remote control command of technical personnel, a drone filled with mixed medicine rose into the air, causing waves of “green waves”. The drone flew straight and uniformly along the rice field, spraying a mist of pesticides evenly on the rice leaves.

“In the past, we used to carry spray to spray rice, and we had to hire several people to work on a large area of rice fields for several days. Now the district provides us with free pesticide spraying services, which can be completed in a few minutes without having to leave the ground. The spraying is efficient and even.” Zeng Qinghong sighed.

This year, the district agriculture office has carried out joint prevention and control of rice diseases and pests for farmers in the entire district multiple times. The plan is to fly over 3000 acres of late rice, and currently more than 1000 acres have been completed. “Li Baoming, a cadre of the district agriculture office, introduced.

It is reported that in order to further improve planting efficiency, reduce costs, and elevate the income of villagers to a new level, in recent years, the district agricultural office has vigorously promoted modern scientific and technological planting methods, promoted agricultural production mechanization and intelligence, and made agriculture easier and farmers more profitable. In the process of agricultural species management and harvesting, various large and intelligent agricultural machinery take turns to operate, reducing costs and increasing efficiency, while casting new strength in agricultural development, laying a solid foundation for traditional agriculture to leap towards modern agriculture, and empowering rural revitalization. Nowadays, drone operations are becoming increasingly common in the fields of Rongjiang New Area in Ganzhou, and the development of technology-based agriculture has also benefited more and more farmers.
