Unmanned aerial vehicle “flying defense” adds “technological wings” to the field

On August 1, with the buzzing of propellers, under the command of technicians, the UAV flew at a constant speed over the rice base in Nanguan Village, Banshu Town, Jingde County along the preset track and sprayed the rice fields accurately and efficiently.

The entire “flight prevention” operation process of loading, takeoff, spraying… is fast and efficient. Lv Guofei, a grain grower in Nanguan Village, Bianshu Town, said, “With the guidance and assistance of agricultural technology experts, we have developed a drone ‘fly prevention’ weed control plan. This year, I and three other nearby households have rented 256 acres of land for drone control, which has saved a lot of time and cost.

“The daily operation volume of a plant protection aircraft can reach more than 700 mu. Compared with the traditional manual application, the operation efficiency of UAV is about 100 times that of manual application. At the same time, the UAV application uses ultra-low volume spray technology, which makes the drug more penetrating, has better efficacy and prevention effect, and can save more than 90% of the amount of liquid medicine while effectively reducing the level of agricultural drug residues and land pollution.” Hong Riming, senior agronomist of Banshu Town, introduced.

In recent years, Printed Books Town has strengthened scientific and technological empowerment, focused on the main line of food security, widely promoted the use of UAVs to prevent diseases and pests, green prevention and control technology, mechanized farming, etc., and effectively improved the level of Mechanised agriculture and labor productivity. In view of the growth of rice in the field and the occurrence law of diseases and pests, since the spring plowing, the town has organized special science and technology personnel to go to the village to carry out more than 40 times of prevention and control guidance, issued 11 Pest control tips, and used the “Huanggaofeng Microclass” night school for farmers to carry out 26 agricultural technical guidance, taking multiple measures to form a joint effort to jointly carry out green prevention and control of diseases and pests. As of now, the entire town has completed the unified control of rice diseases and pests, as well as the green prevention and control area of over 3000 acres.

Next, we will continue to adhere to the use of mechanized prevention and control, farming, and regularly organize agricultural experts to visit the fields to ‘check the pulse’. While ensuring more accurate fertilization and pesticide application, we will effectively ensure food security and inject a continuous stream of power into rural revitalization, truly implementing ‘storing grain in the ground and storing grain in technology’, and giving farmers more confidence to increase their income, “said the relevant person in charge of Bianshu Town.
