Qijiang: Drone “Flying Defense” Ensures High Yield and Harvest of Rice

Recently, in a high standard farmland in Xianling Village, Shijiao Town, Qijiang District, the rice is green and swaying in the breeze at the beginning of jointing. After the plant protection technician set the route, speed and other data on the UAV controller, an agricultural UAV took off and flew low along the rice field. The huge airflow under the rotor impelled the pesticide mist flow to spread evenly, and sprayed it accurately on the rice leaves, so as to carry out the fine and intelligent work of field management and Pest control with high quality and efficiency.

This drone flies so fast, it takes only a few minutes to finish the medicine! “Chen Dicai, a villager from Xianling Village, stood by his rice field and said happily. His family has over 2 acres of rice fields, and in previous years, he had to work from 6 a.m. to noon to finish the planting. However, this year, the district has organized drone plant protection and free planting, which saves money and effort.

“We used thiamethoxam, tetrachloroamide and Jinggangla to prevent and control the borer, leaf curler, rice planthopper and Sheath blight of rice.” According to Hu Gang, the manager of Chongqing Yingyi Agricultural Co., Ltd., who is responsible for the “flight prevention” work on the site, a plant protection UAV can operate more than 200 mu in an hour, and there are more than 1000 mu of rice in Xianling Village. The operation can be completed in a day with a plant protection UAV. Compared to traditional manual operation methods, plant protection drones spray more evenly, have better control effects, and also reduce pesticide consumption, greatly reducing planting costs.

The arrival of the summer solstice, with an increase in temperature and humidity, is the peak period for the occurrence of rice diseases and pests. During the current critical agricultural season, our agricultural technicians go deep into the fields to track the growth of rice and the dynamics of disease and pest occurrence, and guide farmers to implement measures to promote weak to strong, prevent and control diseases and pests, and reduce disasters and increase rice production, laying a solid foundation for the annual rice harvest, “said Tian Dong, Deputy Director of the District Agricultural Service Center, At the same time, they also strictly manage the types of pesticide names, pesticide content, registered crops, and control objects used by the aircraft defense service organization to ensure consistency. They also require third-party service organizations to collect pesticide packaging bottles and bags on-site after each “flight defense” is completed to prevent agricultural non-point source pollution.

At present, Qijiang is actively promoting the integration of green rice prevention and control and specialized unified prevention and control technology in a scientific and orderly manner. It has organized 12 plant protection drones, with a daily “flight prevention” operation area of over 11000 acres. It plans to complete the “flight prevention” task of over 50000 acres in the entire region this month.
