Traditional agricultural production requires a large amount of manpower and material resources, while the efficiency of agricultural production is relatively low; The successful development of plant protection drones has brought about changes in the traditional agricultural production mode, not only saving manpower, material resources, and financial resources, but also significantly improving production efficiency.
With the development of the economy and the improvement of technological level, many advanced mechanical equipment have been applied in agricultural production, including plant protection drone technology. The adaptability of plant protection drone operation is strong, and it will not be affected by terrain factors such as mountains and hills during the operation process, nor will it be affected by planting methods and plant height. This solves the existing operational problems, especially in hilly and mountainous areas, or areas with inconvenient transportation and sparse population, where mechanical operation is more difficult. The use of aviation operation can change this problem.
So, what is the role of plant protection drones in new agricultural planting?
(1) Plant protection spraying
Compared with traditional manual plant protection, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) plant protection has obvious advantages, such as simplicity, safety, economy, and environmental protection, as well as high work efficiency. Plant protection UAVs can be used to spray pesticides for pest control, which can improve control efficiency, save control costs, reduce labor intensity, and achieve good control effects. It can promote the development of crop pest control towards mechanization, scale and intensification, improve agricultural integrated production capacity, lay a foundation for food security and green agricultural development, and also improve crop yield and quality.
(2) Information monitoring
Drones can be used to monitor farmland, including monitoring of pests and diseases, irrigation conditions, and crop growth. In the process of using plant protection drones, remote sensing technology can be used to aerial photograph large areas of farmland, obtain images and image data, and comprehensively analyze and understand the growth status and cycle of crops, which is convenient for preventing pests and diseases, and can also timely clean up weeds in the field. High altitude operations can effectively observe the growth of crops, facilitating better field management. Drone farmland information monitoring has a wide range and can objectively and accurately analyze the growth of crops, making it a common monitoring method at present.
(3) Growth recognition
The plant protection UAV can identify the seedling rate and the growth density of crops, analyze and process the data of observation points after data collection, identify the vegetation around crops, calculate the growth density of crops, and do a good job in management in combination with the soil fertility and nutrition level of the field.
Compared with traditional agricultural technology, plant protection drones are safe and efficient. Especially in some serious agricultural pest control work, the control work can be carried out quickly and in a large range. As a high-tech product, plant protection drones have the advantage of simple operation. It can take off and land in the field, greatly improving the convenience of practical applications. It can also perform low altitude operations within the visible range of the naked eye, significantly reducing the difficulty of operations.
The application status of drones in the field of plant protection has been stable, especially in recent years, with the rapid development of the plant protection drone industry, the cost-effectiveness advantage has become increasingly obvious, and has developed into an affordable and indispensable plant protection tool for ordinary people. The trend of using drones for plant protection operations has begun to take shape. After nearly a decade of development in the plant protection drone industry, manufacturers have gradually moved from nearly a hundred to 2-3, and the industry is gradually moving towards standardization. At the same time, plant protection drones have become a new industrial model for spraying operations.
The application of plant protection drones to prevent and control pests and diseases is not affected by crop growth trends and terrain, improving operational efficiency, and has significant significance in promoting agricultural development. The use of plant protection drones in disease and pest prevention and control can improve the effectiveness of prevention and control, enhance the mechanization level and ability of disease and pest prevention and control, and promote the healthy development of China’s agricultural industry.
