Entering the 3000 acre Venus Gold Planting Demonstration Belt from Wanghe to Jiangou in Sihe Town, Jingning County, busy figures can be seen everywhere. Fruit farmers clean up weeds in the fields, and technicians are using drones to spray pesticides on the kindergartens along the line for unified prevention and control.
Loading, takeoff, and spraying, under the skilled control of technical personnel, the drone turns back and forth over the orchard along the preset track, and a thick white mist is evenly sprayed on the apple tree branches. In a short while, the pest and disease control of dozens of acres of apple trees was completed.
A drone can spray at least 500 acres of apple orchards per day, which can withstand the workload of more than 20 people manually spraying drugs, “said Wang Baishu, Secretary of the Party Branch of Wanghe Village.
Drone spraying of pesticides not only solves the problems of labor shortage, time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also high costs; On the other hand, plant protection drones spray evenly, have good control effects, and save 15% of pesticides compared to manual labor, saving a large amount of management costs. Drone spraying is highly popular among the public.

The relevant departments in Jingning County are increasing their support and promotion efforts for plant protection drones, allowing more and more fruit farmers to experience the convenience and efficiency brought by “technology assisted agriculture” through plant protection drones.
