Drone plant protection helps to stabilize agricultural production and increase income

At present, it is the flowering and boll setting period of cotton, which is also a crucial stage determining cotton yield. In Kumkule Village, Tarim Township, Shaya County, cotton farmers are using drones to carry out cotton disease and pest control, making agricultural work easier.
On July 30th, walking into the cotton field in Kumkule Village, Tarim Township, Shaya County, a plant protection drone slowly rose with the rapid rotation of the drone propeller, spraying a uniform mist on the cotton field.

My cotton field is now the third time we have carried out disease and pest control, mainly to control cotton bollworms, red spiders, aphids, and other pests, “said Muzi Dawuti, a villager in Kumkule Village, Tarim Township, Shaya County. According to him, his family’s cotton has entered the budding and bolling stage. With the help of a plant protection drone, spraying according to the pre planned flight path can be completed in just a few minutes to prevent and treat diseases and pests.

This year, his family’s cotton is still growing well. With the help of scientific field management and high-tech equipment, he is full of confidence in the high yield and harvest of cotton this year. Last year, I planted 45 acres of cotton at home, with a yield of 400 kilograms per acre. It was really convenient to use drones to control cotton pests and diseases, “said Muzi Dawuti, a villager in Kumkule Village, Tarim Township, Shaya County.

The use of drones to prevent and control cotton diseases and pests can reduce the amount of pesticides used, significantly reduce environmental pollution caused by pesticides, and also enable continuous spraying. The high-pressure atomization spraying system equipped with drones makes the droplet size smaller, making it easy for drugs to adhere to crops and harmful organisms. The prevention effect is significant, especially for cotton bollworms, red spiders, green blind bugs, thrips, aphids, etc.

In recent years, Kumkule Village, Tarim Township, Shaya County has continuously improved the level of agricultural modernization development, achieving agricultural scale, planting mechanization, and management intensification. At the same time, the Science and Technology Commissioner of Kumkule Village, Tarim Township, Shaya County actively provides services and organizes and mobilizes agricultural technicians to guide cotton farmers in the field, ensuring high yield and harvest of cotton.
