There are such a group of people in the fields. They shuttle back and forth in the rice fields under the scorching sun, regardless of the high temperature, not afraid of hard work, withstanding the double tests of temperature and physical strength, just to ensure the increase of grain production and income in Jiangling County. The reporter also experienced a day of work as a plant protection drone operator, feeling the hard work and responsibility behind them.
Under the scorching sun, the green rice fields were endless. On the side, Fei Fang master Mao Guangliang didn’t have time to appreciate the beautiful scenery of this rice field. He wore a straw hat and quickly adjusted the agricultural drone in place, manipulating the machine to start spraying pesticides. Accompanied by the roar of the propellers, the plant protection small plane began to slowly rise and shuttle back and forth in the rice fields, with drugs evenly sprayed onto the designated area through the drone.
The midsummer is a crucial period for rice jointing, and carrying out flight control operations has become a key link in the prevention and control of rice diseases and pests. During this important growth stage, Master Mao dared not relax at all and stayed outdoors at temperatures close to 40 ℃ for a whole day. The high-altitude perspective enables the small plane to accurately spray the liquid medicine to every paddy field, ensuring the comprehensive coverage of Pest control.
Mao Guangming, the master of Feifang in White Horse Temple Town, Jiangling County: From five o’clock in the morning to eleven or twelve o’clock in the evening, almost all people have to concentrate on this time to apply medicine and fertilizer.
The agricultural machinery operators are closely monitoring the situation in the field while operating the drone. They use high-definition cameras to observe the growth status of rice in real-time, and can promptly handle any abnormal situations. Whether it is the early detection of pests and diseases or the adjustment of crop nutrition, agricultural machinery operators have achieved rapid response and precise processing through plant protection drones, minimizing agricultural production risks to the greatest extent.
Xiong Daobin, secretary of the Party branch and director of the village committee of Changhe Village, White Horse Temple Town, Jiangling County: Now the old people in the village are too old. Only machinery can solve the problem of aging. Our drones can cover nearly 400 acres of farmland in a day, but individuals can only cover 20 acres at full capacity. One drone is equivalent to 20 elderly people, saving labor and time, and the effect is better than manual labor.
It is understood that a drone can operate 20000 to 30000 mu per year, with a profit of 10 yuan per mu of land and a total profit of 200000 to 300000 yuan per year. The drone can perform flight defense operations on about 100 acres of land in one hour, which is 10 times the efficiency of manual labor. One day can sow around 300 acres of farmland, which is 30 times the efficiency of manual labor.
Xu Yongkang, the owner of the Agricultural Office of White Horse Temple Town, Jiangling County: Next, we will vigorously promote scientific and technological planting means, promote intelligent, mechanized, light and simple agricultural development, and efficient agricultural development, plug in “scientific and technological wings” for grain production, increase farmers’ income, and make the road of rural revitalization more solid and wider.
