On May 21st, in Wende Township, Quyang County, a plant protection drone carrying pesticides swept over a green wheat field at low altitude, evenly spraying mist like pesticides… The wheat “one spray and three prevention” operation being implemented in the county is a microcosm of the use of plant protection drones to escort 4.09 million acres of wheat in Baoding City.
In early summer, May, when wheat is heading and filling, is an important period to determine the yield of wheat, and is also a key period for the control of pest control such as midges, wheat aphids, powdery mildew, scab and rust. In order to ensure the bumper harvest of summer grain, Baoding has organized more than 220 plant protection service organizations, invested more than 600 plant protection UAVs and other plant protection machinery, fought in the wheat production line, with a daily operating capacity of more than 500000 mu, strengthened pest control, and laid a solid foundation for the bumper harvest of summer grain.
Small funds can promote the Dafengshou (Salad of assorted fresh vegetables). In order to ensure food security, Quyang County has made every effort to overcome difficulties and raise 500000 yuan of funds, which will be used in conjunction with central funds. Service organizations will be hired to implement a comprehensive “one spray, three prevention” operation for wheat throughout the county. As of now, the second “one spray and three prevention” operation for 129000 mu of wheat in the county has been basically completed. Wang Aiyong, a 43 year old grain farmer in Quyang, has planted 1000 acres of wheat. Amidst the wind and waves of wheat, he eagerly hopes for a bumper wheat harvest. Subsidizing 10 yuan per acre of land is particularly helpful for us. I can save 10 yuan per acre and 10000 yuan per 1000 acres. Based on the current wheat yield this year, if there are no natural disasters in the future, the yield per acre can reach around 600 to 650 kilograms, “Wang Aiyong said with a smile.
Qingyuan District utilized central subsidy funds and disaster relief funds to purchase pharmaceuticals and trace fertilizers in a centralized manner, while collecting large household funds of 15 yuan per mu, and basically completed the second “one spray and three prevention” operation of 468000 mu. Self medicating costs 20 to 25 yuan per dose, but now we charge 15 yuan, which can be done twice, saving more than half of the cost. I have 970 acres of land, so it only costs over 14000 yuan. This policy is really good. Moreover, it ensures that there are no pests, and if there are pests, free medicating will ensure a high harvest and yield of food. “said Li Yingjun, the legal representative of Zhongcheng Crop Planting Professional Cooperative in Qingyuan District.
Now wheat is in the filling stage, which is a critical period for wheat yield formation. We promote the “one spray, three prevention” technology of wheat mainly to prevent diseases, pests, and dry hot winds. In the later stage, we need to increase the forecasting and prediction of diseases and pests, provide accurate disease and pest information for farmers, and increase the prevention and control of diseases and pests based on weather changes and the degree of disease and pest occurrence, in order to achieve a bumper summer harvest Feng Ji’an, the head of the Plant Protection and Inspection Station of Baoding Agriculture and Rural Bureau, said.
