Drones “Driving in” to Assist in Stable Production and Income Increase of Autumn Grain

The “one spray multiple promotion” technology is a key technical measure applied in crop production to stabilize and increase yield. It is mainly used in the middle and late stages of crop growth to achieve multiple effects such as promoting seedling strength and stable growth, promoting grouting maturity, increasing yield per unit area, and preventing pests and diseases through mixed spraying of foliar fertilizers, stress resistance agents, regulators, etc. On September 14th, Xiaonie Village, Zezhang Town, Xinjiang County utilized agricultural drones to carry out a “one spray multiple promotion” operation, striving to increase autumn grain production and increase farmers’ income.

At the work site, agricultural technicians carefully measured the terrain and proportion of pesticides, checked the drone’s electricity and drug loading, and operated the drone to operate back and forth over the corn according to the set route, height, and spraying amount. The pesticides were evenly sprayed on the corn, bringing a timely “nutrient rain” to the corn. Nie Junqi, Secretary of the Party Branch of Xiaoniecun, excitedly said, “This is a critical period for disease prevention and control. The timely implementation of the ‘one spray, multiple promotions’ technology is equivalent to providing us with another’ insurance ‘for the crops we plant. With this new technology, all fields have become intelligent!” Compared to the traditional manual pesticide spraying mode, drones have the advantages of faster operation speed and higher efficiency, greatly saving labor costs While increasing the safety of pesticide application, the utilization rate of pesticides has also significantly improved. Accompanied by the drone’s “buzzing” rotor rotation sound, the villagers in Xiaonie Village were filled with joy on their faces.

In previous years, I used to spray medicine myself, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive. Moreover, due to inconsistent spraying times, many diseases and pests were difficult to eradicate. Spraying multiple times not only had low efficiency, but also had unsatisfactory control effects. Now, the government has carried out drone spraying for us, saving costs and achieving good results, “said Jin Guojun, a villager in Xiaonie Village.

At present, the autumn corn crop has entered the filling stage, which is a critical period for yield formation. In addition to using drones to spray biological pesticides on the corn field, Zezhang Town also invites agricultural technicians to go deep into the field to guide and promote various knowledge and technologies of disease and pest control, and enhance farmers’ awareness of disease and pest control.
