Technology Production Promotes Income Increase and Drones Boost Smart Agriculture

At the beginning of July, when cotton diseases and pests are at a high incidence, it is also a critical period for prevention and control. In order to effectively prevent and control aphids, thrips, red and white spiders, cotton bollworm and other pests in cotton fields, in Cangtamu Village, Tarim Township, Xayar County, more than 30000 mu of cotton fields are using the “science and technology+agriculture” model, using drones to spray drugs on cotton in an all-round way without dead ends, and relying on science and technology to help agricultural production.

Buzzing… “, with the sound of rotating rotors, more than seven agricultural drones appeared in the air above the cotton field at 7 am under the operation of the” flying hand “. The airflow below the rotors pushed the pesticide evenly and accurately sprayed on the cotton. In just over half an hour, more than 100 acres of drug spraying tasks were completed.

Fan Jun, Secretary of the Party Branch of Cangtamu Village, said, “Compared to previous manual spraying, drones are more uniform, time-saving, and labor-saving. Three kilograms of water per acre is enough. Now technology has brought us great convenience, and I will continue to choose drones in the future

“I used to plant 40 mu of cotton land and carry spray manually. It would take a day just to apply medicine. It was very tiring and very harmful to the human body. Now the UAV can only solve the problem in 10 minutes,” said Keremu Reherman, a villager in Cangtamu Village.

Aircraft operator Ankel Maimaiti introduced that drone usage has been at its peak recently, and now he can spray around 600 acres of cotton fields per day for 5 yuan per acre. Apart from the cost, he can earn over 2000 yuan per day.

Cangtamu Village fully leverages the role of “technology+agriculture” and widely uses drones to spray pesticides. This not only improves labor efficiency, but also greatly reduces the harm of pesticides to human health, playing a positive role in improving production quality and promoting the development of “smart agriculture” in the Three Regiments.
