Over the green rice fields, a drone is operating at low altitude, taking off and spraying pesticides. With a rapid “buzzing” sound, the drone’s propeller rotates rapidly, like an eagle hovering over the green rice fields. In a few minutes, a large area of rice fields has already been sprayed with pesticides. This is Dianshang Village, Aoshan Town, Shanggao County, which is using drones for rice pest control.
Since last year, drones have been used for spraying, and there were doubts when it was first used. However, based on the effectiveness of last year’s flight defense, it can not only prevent diseases and increase production, but also save time and manpower, “said Liu Jianhua, a grain grower in Dianshang Village, Aoshan Town.
It is understood that as a new type of agricultural machinery, drones are becoming increasingly common. It is small in size and has large functions. It can load 8-10 kilograms of pesticides at a time, with a spraying range of 5 meters in diameter. It can complete spraying operations of 40-60 acres in one hour, which is 30 times more than traditional manual spraying. It can be remotely operated, effectively avoiding the danger of pesticide exposure for spraying workers, improving the safety of spraying operations, reducing resource costs, and reducing fertilizer residues, promoting the development of agriculture towards a more green and ecological direction. In recent years, Aoshan Town, Shanggao County, through the promotion and use of efficient, convenient and intelligent plant protection UAVs, has carried out unified control over crops, strengthened agricultural disaster prevention and reduction, and successfully fought the key battle of “grain grabbing by insects” to ensure cost saving and income increase in agricultural production.
