Plant protection drones save costs and increase efficiency in agriculture
Since the beginning of this year, in order to vigorously promote green prevention and control demonstrations, reduce the use of pesticides, save costs and increase efficiency, and lay the foundation for a bumper grain harvest, Yilong New District has introduced plant protection drones to help the development of green agriculture and add new vitality to rural revitalization.

Zou Xingguo, general manager of Xingyi Far East Integrated Service Co., Ltd., introduced that the stink bug is a kind of creature belonging to the class of insects.

In order to effectively solve the problem of pest control in the standardized production process of crops, the Tobacco Leaf Station actively introduces modern agricultural technology. In addition to putting anthelmintic bugs and spraying pesticides on tobacco leaves to prevent and control pests and diseases, it also uses plant protection drones to spray pesticides on rice to prevent rice blast. and sheath blight. At present, the benefits of drone flying for plant protection have gradually been recognized by growers, and the market demand is also increasing.
“Tobacco leaves are planted in a concentrated contiguous manner. The use of drones is very efficient. Several hundred acres can be farmed a day. At the same time, the cost is relatively low, only costing 8 to 10 yuan per mu.” said Luo Jie, deputy head of the Wanlu Tobacco Leaf Station.
In the Unity and Mutual Aid dam area of Tuanjie Village, Mulong Street, the Agricultural Service Center of Mulong Street organized 3 plant protection drones to spray pesticides on more than 1,000 acres of rice. “In the past, I needed to make five or six pots of potion per mu of land, and it took a whole morning. Now the government uses drones to spray medicine, and it takes 20 minutes to make it, and we don’t spend any cost.” Zhou Mingrong, a rice grower in the third group of Tuanjie Village Say.
The large-scale promotion of green prevention and control technology for crop diseases and insect pests can effectively solve the problems of disease and insect pest control in the process of standardized production of crops, significantly reduce the use of chemical pesticides, avoid excessive pesticide residues in agricultural products, and improve the quality and safety of agricultural products. While increasing farmers’ income, it also saves manpower and material resources.
“Our solidarity and mutual assistance dam area has 1,300 mu. Now the government is in charge of unified prevention and control, which not only improves our efficiency and saves costs, but also prevents the spread of diseases and insects between fields, which can greatly increase grain production.” Mulong Zhu Tongfa, head of the street agricultural clothing center, said.
