Is the application prospect of plant protection drones broad?

Why dare to say that plant protection drones have broad application prospects?Agricultural Machinery Old Cat 2017-04-27The strong promotion by the government and the support of major national projects, as well as financial subsidies and policy support, are the historical background and significant benefits for promoting the rapid development of advanced and efficient plant protection machinery.Agricultural scale operation, whole process mechanization and socialized service are the development direction of modern agriculture, which have been written into the report of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the No. 1 central document of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. The strong promotion by the government and the support of major projects, as well as financial subsidies and policy support, are the historical background and significant benefits for promoting the rapid development of advanced and efficient plant protection machinery.1. jpgThe specialized and unified control of crop diseases and pests is to transfer the main body of disease and pest control from thousands of farmers to specialized service organizations. It is an important lever to improve the level of plant protection work, improve the effectiveness of disease and pest control, and achieve zero growth in pesticide use. The specialized unified prevention and control system provides a broad market for advanced and efficient plant protection machinery, drives capital investment, and promotes the rapid development of advanced and efficient plant protection machinery. At the same time, advanced and efficient plant protection machinery promotes the development of specialized unified prevention and control. It has been proven that the decade of promoting specialized unified prevention and control throughout the country was the fastest period for the development of plant protection machinery in China.The advantages of plant protection dronesHigh efficiency of action. In theory, plant protection drones can operate hundreds of acres per day. According to reports, multi rotor drones can reach over 350 acres and single rotor drones can reach over 500 acres. The actual application homework area is over 200 acres per day, with an average of over 80 acres per person. It can effectively solve the problems of labor shortage in rural areas and the instability of specialized defense teams.Widely used, effective in prevention and control (with moderate incidence of various crops, diseases and pests), with low labor intensity and decent work, it can attract young people with high educational levels. Low water consumption, high pesticide utilization rate, and low environmental pollution.According to data, the total number of plant protection drones in China was 695 in 2014, with an operating area of 4.26 million mu per flight. In 2015, it rapidly developed to 23.24 million drones and 11.528 million mu per flight, an increase of 234% and 170% respectively. In 2016, it entered a period of faster development.The main problems that existThe plant protection drone is at the “wind vent”. According to the information, there are more than 500 production enterprises in China, including 126 with independent research and development capabilities. There are currently 12 production enterprises in Hunan with a production capacity of 20000 aircraft per year.Low entry threshold and inconsistent technical standards; The product is incomplete and the quality of the product is uneven; Product prices are chaotic; Production enterprises burn more money but make less profit; Excessive hype and exaggeration of the applicability and application prospects of flight defense; Incomplete matching of personnel, machinery, agents, and technology; Flying hands cannot meet market needs; The quality of the machine is not up to standard, it has not been finalized, updates quickly, prices are chaotic, and maintenance services cannot keep up; The research and development of pharmaceuticals and additives cannot keep up, and there is little focus on research, resulting in mixed products; Flight defense technology is seriously lagging behind. Flight defense services have high costs and poor benefits. The aircraft has a high failure rate and high maintenance costs; The battery has a short duration and requires a large number of groups; High operating costs.The prevention and control effect has not been tested by the occurrence of major diseases and pests, and there is a significant risk. Special reminder: Due to the safety issues inherent in herbicides, flying herbicides may have finer droplets, drift, and heavy spraying, which can lead to a decrease in the safety performance of herbicides. Therefore, more caution should be exercised. The flight control supervision system has not been established yet, and there are safety hazards.In short, plant protection drones have their own advantages and are in line with the development direction of modern agriculture and modern plant protection. There is a large market demand and they should be actively developed. However, plant protection drones and their flight prevention are new things that are not yet mature in all aspects and should be steadily promoted. Pushing forward or promoting seedling growth can cause economic losses to production enterprises and service organizations, as well as potential losses to agricultural production, which is not conducive to healthy development.Actively promoting the healthy development of plant protection and flight preventionPromote the standardization of plant protection drones and build a group of leading enterprises. Raise the entry threshold, establish industry technical standards, and encourage production enterprises to integrate; Increase research and development investment, improve the intelligence level of plant protection drones, achieve precision in spraying operations, and simplify the use of operations; Develop multi-purpose agricultural drones to achieve multiple functions for one machine; Establish a sound maintenance service and pilot training system.Make multiple efforts to improve flight defense technology. Pesticide production enterprises should strengthen the research and development of flight prevention pesticide varieties, dosage forms, and additives (additives should be added to flight prevention pesticides as much as possible); The linkage between production, education, research, and promotion departments strengthens the research and development of flight defense technology, clarifies the scope and conditions of flight defense application, formulates relevant technical regulations, and ensures the effectiveness of flight defense.Explore flight defense service models to improve flight defense efficiency. Multiple service providers are exploring service models to break through service efficiency bottlenecks. Professional flight prevention service organizations should improve the utilization and efficiency of plant protection drones from the following three aspects. One is multi regional operations. In spring, you can go to the north to carry out wheat flying prevention operations, in winter, you can go to Hainan to work, and in other times, you can serve in multiple places in the province (similar to wheat harvesting in the north); The second is multi crop operations, including rice, cotton, fruit trees, vegetables, and other special crops; The third is multi-purpose homework, which can be used not only for preventing and controlling diseases, pests, and weeds, but also for hybrid rice milling, aerial seeding of seeds, fertilization, and so on.Establish a flight control supervision system to ensure safety. It is recommended that the agricultural machinery department build a comprehensive information management platform for plant protection drone control flight, adopting a management mode of one machine, one license, one machine, one license in one, and certificate operation (i.e. motor vehicle driving license and driver’s license management mode), setting up electronic fences, prohibiting plant protection machines from flying into no fly zones, and prohibiting them from being used for non plant protection operations. This will make the plant protection machine industry an efficient, safe, and reliable industry, which can ensure agricultural production safety, It does not pose a national public safety hazard.Increase subsidies and support efforts. One is to include plant protection drones in agricultural machinery subsidies and increase subsidy efforts; The second is for the agricultural and plant protection departments to utilize industrial development projects and special support for plant protection; Thirdly, production enterprises actively strive for development promotion projects and financial support policies in the fields of intelligent machines and aviation; Fourthly, strengthen technical guidance and services; The fifth is to strengthen insurance protection and resolve risks.
