Sinan, Guizhou: Drone “Flying Defense” Protects Rice

Recently, in the 1200 mu rice planting base at Airport Dam, Tangtou Town, Sinan County, Tongren City, Guizhou Province, there are endless green rice fields. Accompanied by the sound of rotor rotation, two plant protection drones, under the operation of technicians, evenly sprinkled white atomized pesticides onto the rice fields, covering them with “protective clothing”.

Three minutes, seven minutes in charge. At present, it is the critical period for rice growth and the best period for Pest control. In recent days, Sinan County has seized the agricultural time, actively carried out rice Pest control work, made full use of the plant protection UAV “flying prevention” operation, accurately applied drugs, combined green prevention and control with the unified prevention rule, so that the field management is easy, efficient, energy saving and environmental protection, and ensure food production and farmers’ income. It is understood that the operational efficiency of a plant protection drone is more than 20 times that of manual spraying, which can reduce the use of pesticides by more than 30%. Compared to manual spraying, the “fly defense” of a plant protection drone is more efficient, safe, economical, and environmentally friendly.

During this period, the temperature is relatively high, so we carry out plant protection drone ‘flying defense’ operations from 7 am to 11 am and from 4 pm to 7 pm. We can complete 600 to 800 acres in a day, which is relatively efficient, “said Cheng Chaoyuan, a drone operator at Sinan Hemufu Agricultural Machinery Professional Cooperative.

In addition, in response to the growth trend and disease occurrence patterns of rice in the fields this year, the Agricultural Service Center of Tangtou Town actively cooperates with the Agriculture and Rural Bureau of Sinan County, purchases low toxicity, efficient, and green environmental friendly pesticides through large-scale centralized service advantages, implements specialized services for rice disease and pest control, reduces the pressure of non-point source pollution in farmland and water, and promotes green prevention and control of rice diseases and pests.
