Jingyang Street, Xiuwen County: Unmanned aerial vehicles assist in controlling rape aphids

Recently, a reporter saw at the rapeseed planting demonstration site in Qingxi Village, Jingyang Street, Xiuwen County that under the control of technical personnel, two plant protection drones circled and flew back and forth over the rapeseed field, spraying mist like aphid control pesticides accurately and evenly. The entire process was fast and efficient.

With the temperature rising gradually, rape sclerotinia, Downy mildew, aphids and other diseases and pests enter a high incidence period. At present, rape flowers are basically withering, which is a good time to implement pest control. Compared with traditional fertilization and spraying methods, plant protection UAVs have the advantages of precision, efficiency, strong penetration, high utilization rate of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, safety and environmental protection. At the same time, the medication sprayed by drones is professionally proportioned, which can promote the growth and development of rapeseed, prevent bacterial blight, and prevent aphids.

The innovative model of fully utilizing technology to improve efficiency in agricultural production has become an important measure for Qingxi Village to vigorously promote the mechanization of agricultural production in rural revitalization, allowing farmers to transform from ‘skilled’ to ‘intelligent’ farming, adding infinite new momentum to rural revitalization and effectively assisting the high-quality development of agriculture in Qingxi Village, “said the relevant person in charge of the Qingxi Village Party Branch.

It is reported that since April 12th, in order to ensure a bumper harvest of rapeseed, the County Agriculture and Rural Bureau has successively used plant protection drones to control aphids in rapeseed planting demonstration sites such as Qingxi Village in Jingyang Street, Gaogao Village in Zhazuo Street, Dazhai Village in Gubao Town, and Changtian Village in Liutun Town. It is expected that the drone will operate over 2000 acres and complete the spraying within 3 days.
