Do this with a drone…Minhou is promoting it!

In this great season of agricultural production, Minhou County Science and Technology Association, County Agriculture and Rural Bureau and Fujian Tianhe Lvbao Agricultural Resources Co., Ltd. held a live demonstration of plant protection UAV promotion at Baisha Lvbaihe Modern Agriculture Co., Ltd. to the local 115 major olive and citrus growers promoted drone smart plant protection technology. The demonstration also invited leaders of the Plant Protection Station of the Fujian Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and experts and professors from the Plant Protection College of Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University to popularize smart plant protection technologies for farmers.Minhou County is the hometown of olives in China, and its olive planting area ranks among the top in the country. Baisha navel orange 52 is also one of the agricultural brand products of Minhou County. Many olive trees and citrus trees planted in the hilly areas along the river are frequently plagued by diseases and insect pests in April and May. Manual spraying of pesticides to eliminate insects requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and it is easy to cause pesticides to exceed the standard. Therefore, the problem of pests and diseases has become a long-standing problem that has plagued growers for many years.picture▲ (The drone can easily carry out spraying operations in steep hilly areas)”We hire workers to spray pesticides or spray pesticides by ourselves to spray 10 mu of land all day, which is not only tiring but also inefficient,” said citrus grower Lian Changhai. The troubles of growers can now be easily solved through drone plant protection technology.picture▲ (The staff adds a good proportion of pesticides to the drone)picture▲ (Experts and farmers observe the effect of drone spraying on the spot)At the demonstration site, the plant protection drones filled with pesticides shuttled back and forth along the trapezoidal hillside, and the pesticides were precisely sprayed on the crops in the form of mist. In just ten minutes, the drone completed the task of spraying pesticides on 10 acres of olive trees, which was a workload that could only be completed by manual spraying in a whole day in the past. The modern agricultural plant protection technology makes the growers praise it frequently.picture▲ (UAV spraying pesticides evenly at low altitude)Fujian Tianhe Lvbao Agricultural Materials Co., Ltd., as a governing unit of the Council of China Agricultural and Rural Service Industry Alliance and a leading enterprise in socialized trusteeship services for agricultural production in Minhou County, not only provides drones and other plant protection equipment for growers, but also customizes them for growers.

Through our smart plant protection technology, the improvement in efficiency is obvious. Farmers use conventional equipment to spray pesticides, the fineness of the liquid can only reach 200-800 microns, the utilization rate of the liquid can only reach about 45%, and a single person can only complete the pesticide spraying of 10 mu of land per day. Using the wisdom of our drones Plant protection technology, the fineness of the liquid medicine can be increased to 10-100 microns, the utilization rate of the liquid medicine can be increased to more than 90%, and a single machine can spray more than 150 mu per day.”picture▲ (Experts and professors from Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University and farmers inspect the effect of pesticide spraying)Minhou County Agriculture and Rural BureauLan Meiyun, head of the plant protection and inspection station:”With the aging of the agricultural planting population and the intensification of cultivated land, the demand for socialized trusteeship services for agricultural production is increasing. Smart plant protection technology services are an extremely important part of agricultural socialized services. Minhou County is cooperating with relevant provincial and municipal departments and Fujian Universities such as Agriculture and Forestry University vigorously promote this technology, and promote farmers to increase production and income through smart agriculture.”
