At present, it is the season of spring plowing. In order to ensure high-quality and high yield of rice, Jinhui Town has been seizing sunny weather for several days, using agricultural drones to carry out fertilization work, and using technological means to assist in field management, to ensure the increase of rice income.
At a farmland operation site in Jinhui Town, accompanied by the buzzing sound of propellers, the drone took off steadily with 80 kilograms of fertilizer downloaded by technicians, shuttling over the paddy fields, evenly spraying the fertilizer. In about two hours, the fertilizer spraying operation for 150 acres of rice was completed, reducing labor costs and improving efficiency.
If it’s artificial, it takes at least three or four days for 600 acres of land to be fertilized with manual backpack type machinery. “Tang Min, the chairman of Shanghai Jiutong Agricultural Professional Cooperative, introduced that with the support of drones, efficiency has been greatly improved, and it can usually be completed in two days. Not only that, but drone fertilization has also greatly improved the control of rice. “If you use manual fertilization on rainy days, only half of the rice can be sown, and the remaining rice will have differences in later stages. If you use drones, the first time should be controlled in about two days, and if it doesn’t rain, all the rice will be completed, so the rice will grow more evenly in later stages
It is understood that with the advanced navigation operating system, drones have the advantages of uniform spraying, good atomization effect, and being not limited by crop growth and terrain. During drone operations, fertilizers can be evenly sprayed onto farmland. If a drone flies, it still depends on weather changes. It is reported that efficient flight prevention operations provide convenience for spring agricultural production, but it is also necessary to prepare in advance and pay attention to the drone’s own state and weather changes. For example, if fertilization is applied, the wind force of four or five levels is not a problem. When applying medicine, the wind force should not exceed three levels to prevent the medicine from drifting and affecting the surrounding plants. If a drone uses liquid medicine, load 50 liters of liquid medicine and 50 kilograms of fertilizer when spreading fertilizer. “Li Xinyu, a professional drone pilot, told reporters that before each flight, the first thing to pay attention to is the battery level. If the battery level is low, it is necessary to reduce the loading of fertilizer.” Overheating weather can also cause the drone to drop high, so it is also important to avoid hot weather, “Li Xinyu said.
In addition to rice, drones can also serve crops grown in the open air on some large farms, including corn, flowers, turf, vegetables, and public welfare forests. In recent years, Fengxian has actively explored the development model of smart agriculture, vigorously popularized and promoted scientific and technological planting methods, improved the modernization level and production efficiency of agricultural production, promoted stable production and income increase for farmers, and assisted in rural revitalization.
According to the staff introduction, it is expected that the fertilization work will be completed in the next two days, and the management of rice’s aerobic water slurry will also be followed up as planned. The variety planted this year is Songzaoxiang 1. It is expected that early rice will be harvested in early September, and this variety of rice will be available to consumers in mid September.
