On May 21, in a wheat field in Wende Township, Quyang County, a plant protection drone carrying pesticides skimmed through the green wheat field at a low altitude and sprayed foggy pesticides evenly… The wheat “one spray, three defenses” operation being implemented in Quyang County is a microcosm of more than 600 plant protection drones in our city to escort 4.09
It is understood that in order to ensure a bumper summer grain harvest, our city has organized more than 220 plant protection service organizations, invested more than 600 plant protection drones and other plant protection machinery, and fought on the front line of wheat production, with a daily operation capacity of more than 500,000 mu. The operation volume of the plant protection UAV is 100 mu per hour, and the efficiency is 30 to 50 times that of traditional manual. It operates automatically throughout the whole process, with the advantages of accurate spraying of pesticides, strong penetration, low dosage, safety and environmental protection, etc., which greatly reduces the labor intensity of manual operation.
In early summer, May, when wheat is heading and filling, is the key period to determine the yield of wheat, and also the key period to control pest control such as midges, wheat aphids, powdery mildew, scab and rust. The agricultural and rural departments of Quyang County organized professional agricultural technicians to use plant protection UAVs to carry out “one spray, three prevention” wheat operations, strengthen pest control, and lay a solid foundation for summer grain yield and harvest.
Small funds leverage a bumper harvest. In order to ensure a bumper summer grain harvest and ensure food security, Quyang County has made every effort to overcome difficulties to raise 500,000 yuan of funds, and use it with central funds. The employment service organization has implemented a full coverage of “one spray, three preventions” operation for the county’s wheat. Up to now, the second “one spray, three defenses” operation of 129,000 mu of wheat in the county has been basically completed.
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.
