Drone assisted wheat management in spring to boost income

At present, it is the winter wheat turning green season, which is also a key period for wheat disease and pest control. In the sky, drone flight operations are implemented with precise pesticide application. With the help of intelligent agricultural machinery, employees become drone “pilots” while planting good land, not only increasing income and becoming rich, but also helping the spring plowing around Huyanghe City in the Seventh Division to accelerate.

On March 20th, in the wheat field of the 16th Company of the 128th Regiment of the Seventh Division, plant protection drones were spraying drugs and water-soluble fertilizers. After spraying, they could have the effects of drought resistance, cold resistance, and frost resistance, as well as timely control of various diseases and insect pests that occurred during the growth of wheat. The worker Lu Tao looked at the green winter wheat seedlings in the field with a smile on his face. He told the reporter, “The 50 mu wheat field at home can be filled with pesticide in less than an hour. Using drones not only saves time, labor, and labor, but also the key is to fill it very evenly, which plays a very good role in promoting the late production of wheat.”

It is understood that the plant protection drone has the advantages of uniform spraying, good atomization effect, and freedom from crop growth and terrain constraints. At the same time, the operating efficiency can reach 30-50 times of manual work, saving pesticide can reach more than 30%, and is conducive to reducing pesticide residues and environmental pollution, making agricultural production more efficient.

Plant protection drones can not only assist employees in wheat management, but also enable employees to achieve multiple income increases and increase income. Mu Jianrong, a plant protection technician who is operating drones in the field, is an employee of the 11th Company of the 128th Regiment. He focused on planting needs and purchased a drone, which not only makes it convenient and economical to use in his wheat field, but also increases income by serving other farmers. Based on the orders received, it is estimated that a drone can increase income by nearly 100000 yuan per year.
