A series of “hum, hum, hum…” The engine roared in the Yangchang town Jinpan village stone dam sounded above, plant protection drones under the remote control of the operator, quickly soared into the air, along the set route, a “medicine fog” fell from the sky, evenly sprinkled to the rice fields, within a few minutes, the drone has completed a large area of spraying operations.

“Since the beginning of this year, under the influence of heavy rainfall and high temperature and strong wind, a large area of rice in our village has been harmed by the rice longitudinal leaf roller, and the spread is wide. In the early stage, the party branch of our village actively organized the masses to carry out mass prevention and treatment, and the prevention and control effect was alleviated to a certain extent. Now, it has been highly valued by the town Party committee and the government, and it has carried out centralized spraying of drones for rice growing areas in our village free of charge, which has greatly improved the prevention and control efficiency of rice diseases and pests.” Said Tian Xingbin, party secretary of Jinpen Village.
