Drone “Flying Defense” Helps Stabilize Rice Production and Increase Income

During the summer season, farmland management is busy. On August 1, in the high standard farmland of Nanshan Village, Jianping Town, Langxi County, technicians from the county agricultural technology center were loading pesticides into UAVs, and then loading them. Under the skilled remote control of technicians, the propeller of the UAV rotated rapidly and sprayed on the farmland according to the predetermined trajectory. The spray agent was like a layer of white gauze, which was evenly covered on the rice field, It is covered with a layer of health “coat”, and this is the rice field of Wang Chengyou, a major grain farmer in Nanshan Village.

At present, there are not enough manpower, and there are elderly people in the countryside. It is difficult to work in hot weather, “Wang Chengyou said. If drones are used for flight defense, it only takes three hours, and the cost per acre is only 8 yuan. It will not cause any harm to rice, save time, and will not cause any harm to the environment and human body.

The weather has been very hot recently. Every morning from 7:00 to 11:00, and every evening from 4:00 to 7:00, we can produce approximately 600 to 800 acres per day. “Liu Rongjun is a drone operator at the Jianping Agricultural Service Center. He told reporters that based on the growth and disease occurrence patterns of rice in the fields this year, we will purchase low toxicity, efficient, and environmentally friendly pesticides in advance, carry out professional services for rice disease and pest control, reduce the pressure of non-point source pollution in farmland and water bodies, and promote green prevention and control of rice diseases and pests.

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, Langxi County has seized the agricultural time, actively carried out rice Pest control work, made full use of plant protection UAV “flying prevention” operation, and accurately applied pesticides, combining green prevention and control with unified prevention and control rule, so that field management is easy, efficient, energy saving and environmental protection, and ensure high grain yield and farmers’ income.

The rapid and efficient plant protection drone “fly defense” fills the field management with “technological style”. It not only effectively improves the prevention and control effect of pests and diseases, but also reduces the use of insecticides, reduces control costs, and alleviates the labor shortage of farmers, laying a solid foundation for this year’s grain harvest The relevant officials of the Agriculture and Rural Bureau of the county stated that,

In recent years, Langxi County has adhered to the policy of “storing grain on the ground, and storing grain in technology”. In the whole process of standardized cultivation of rice, it has actively promoted high-tech farming methods such as mechanical transplanting, unmanned aerial vehicle management, and mechanical harvesting, which has promoted the development of rice production in the direction of intelligence, mechanization, light weight, and efficiency, planted “scientific and technological wings” on agricultural production, guaranteed the livelihood of farmers, and promoted rural development, Promoted the development of rural areas.
