At the turn of summer and autumn, the scorching sun shines like fire. On August 23rd, under the scorching sun, in a flat and green rice field in Guxian Village, Shuibei Town, Shaowu City, an agricultural unmanned plant protection aircraft took off smoothly under the remote control command of the operator, flying at a constant speed at a low altitude of about 2 meters above the field. Under the wind pressure of the propeller, a circular white mist of medicine was continuously sprayed from the side of the fuselage, and the medicine was evenly sprayed onto the farmland through the three nozzles below the fuselage.
Before that, it would take at least 10 workers to spray this 350 acre area of rice, which would take about half a month. It would be even more difficult if the weather was as hot as this year, “Yang Zhiming, president of the Xiangnong Plant Protection Service Farmers’ Professional Cooperative in Shaowu City, told reporters. In addition to drones, his cooperative also has various new types of machines that can not only spray pesticides on rice, It can also spray pesticides on various plants such as fruits, vegetables, and even forests of farmers. Compared with traditional manual operations, it not only has the advantages of high efficiency and uniform atomization, but also saves water through aerial operations, effectively solving the problems of pesticide residues and soil and water pollution, and helping farmers save a large amount of labor costs.
It is understood that Shaowu Xiangnong Plant Protection Service Farmers Professional Cooperative was established in 2019. At the beginning, only Yang Zhiming and a UAV were involved. Now it has developed into 8 members and 8 UAVs of various types. The pesticide spraying business has spread throughout Fuqing, Changle, Mount Wuyi and other parts of the province.
Spraying pesticides using drones can effectively solve the problem of artificial mechanized planting of crops such as rice, and also provide a reliable way for agricultural machinery to replace people. At the same time, it achieves separation of people and drugs, reduces direct contact between people and pesticides, thereby reducing the incidence of poisoning among pesticide spraying personnel and greatly improving the safety of pesticide application, “Huang Suhua said.
She is our guide. We just entered this industry and really don’t understand anything. We don’t know about equipment. The first thing we bought was the Xiechuang drone, which was not easy to use. She helped us bridge the gap and took us to the province to learn. Now we have introduced the high-power Dajiang drone, and not only that, but she also helped us, Shaowu agricultural machinery expert He Shuifa, guide us on the use of drugs, which has saved us many detours Yang Zhiming said.
Nowadays, the smooth operation of drone plant protection has injected a new force into the agricultural broadcasting field of Shuibei Town. With the help of Huang Suhua, not only the villages in Guxian County, but also the villages in Shuibei Town, the way of artificial spraying under the scorching sun in the past has become history. Instead, the unmanned plant protection machine is used for pest control.
Unmanned plant protection machines have a great advantage for manual labor, which means that if we use pesticides like ours, at least 7 or 8 people need to work manually. Moreover, everyone sprays pesticides with a medicine box on their back, which is not only inefficient, but also heavy and tiring. When sweating, some pesticides can easily enter the skin and cause harm to the human body. However, if we use a drone, it can be operated by two people and can complete about 300 acres of work in a day It becomes much easier to apply pesticides in terms of business volume. The most important thing is when our rice suffers from diseases and pests, it is to compete with insects for time. Now we are not afraid, and I have confidence in planting even more rice Jiang Jiandong, a major grain grower in Yidu Village, Shuibei Town, who has planted over 400 acres of rice, used to worry about rice pests and diseases, as well as the high labor cost of rice cultivation. Now that drone control is available, he said these are not problems anymore. With such good national policies, he also needs to take advantage of the policy to “fly” and expand the planting area of rice.
