Drones spray fertilizer to protect food security

At present, the critical period of rapid growth of corn, soybeans and rice, recently, Sifang District farmers commissioned a third party Shou Feng agricultural service company, the use of plant protection drones in the field to carry out spraying and fertilizing operations, high-tech machinery to become a good helper for farmers to improve quality and efficiency, green income.

Dosing, loading, taking off, spraying…… Under the skilled remote control command of technical personnel, accompanied by a rapid “buzz” sound, a drone filled with mixed Hefei liquid rose into the air, flying along the soybean field at a constant speed, and the mist of leaf fertilizer was sprayed from the body and scattered in the field, and soon fed the soybean seedlings a good nutritious meal.

This soybean field is contracted by Brother Liu. The use of professional plant protection drone, each time can carry about 60 kilograms of fertilizer solution, 10 minutes of operation. Elder Brother Liu: “According to the past manual spraying, it takes four or five days to spray these areas of our home, and the spraying is uneven, and now the drone operation takes only two hours to spray, spraying evenly, saving labor and time.” The spraying operation is completed by Shuangyashan Shoufeng Agricultural Company, for the whole area of 50,000 acres of corn, soybeans and other field crops such as jet fungus liquid plus silicon zinc foliar fertilizer, planned to be completed in five days.

Efficient and efficient plant protection drone, so that the field management to show the “science and technology model.” Compared with the traditional artificial knapsack spray application, the use of plant protection UAV has the advantages of high utilization rate, intelligence, water saving and medicine saving, time saving and labor saving. It is reported that the efficiency of plant protection drones is more than 50 times that of manual operations, and a drone can spray 80-100 acres in an hour, which greatly improves the work efficiency while also reducing the production intensity and production costs of farmers. At present, the field crops in Sifangtai District basically use plant protection drones to spray foliar fertilizer and pesticides, which has laid a solid foundation for high-yield grain and income increase of farmers.

Today, in the vast fields, plant protection drones have become a new picture of science and technology to promote agriculture, which not only alleviates the problem of “medicine difficulty” in the agricultural plant protection link, but also broadens the new channels for farmers to increase income, and the promotion and application of high-tech machinery is constantly helping the development of Sifang modern agriculture to run out of “acceleration”.
