Plant Protection Drones Assist Smart Agriculture

As an important component of precision agriculture, plant protection drones have advantages such as high efficiency, precision, and environmental protection, supporting the achievement of the “zero growth of pesticides” goal and promoting the coordinated development of intelligent agricultural machinery and smart agriculture in China.

At present, there are nearly 400 related enterprises in the entire industrial chain of China’s plant protection drones, with a population of over 30000 drones. In 2018, the operating area was approximately 267 million acres, which can reduce pesticide use by more than 20% and improve pesticide utilization rate by more than 30%.

Plant protection and flight prevention are the technological integration of “human”, “machine”, and “agent”. With the accelerated integration of drone innovation and agricultural technology, the demand for flight prevention services in major crop growing areas in China is rapidly increasing. To this end, Kedihua Agricultural Technology and Dajiang Agriculture recently held the first “Yufeng Camp, Nurturing Abundance” themed flight prevention training, helping 80 flight prevention operators obtain relevant operational qualifications, and fully demonstrating the advantages of plant protection and flight prevention in the field.

In addition to “machines” and “people”, the development of plant protection and flight prevention also requires the support of specialized drugs. Compared with traditional pesticide spraying, plant protection and flight prevention have specific requirements for pesticide concentration, dispersion rate, and adhesion, which are key to improving the effectiveness of the operation. To this end, Kedihua has newly released the flight prevention standards and special packaging for the herbicide Ruichao Mai, helping to deepen and promote the scientific, rational, and efficient use of plant protection and flight prevention drugs; He also led multiple industry leading enterprises to collaborate with the China Pesticide Industry Association to develop and launch a series of group standards for plant protection unmanned aerial vehicles, integrating agricultural practices with digital technology to promote agricultural safety and green development.
