Drones spray pesticides for free. Common pests and diseases are everywhere

In the past month, there have been frequent flying plant protection drones over the rice fields in Huiyang District to carry out rice plant protection operations and help farmers “seize food from insects.” At the side of a late rice field in Guangming village, Pingtan Town, Qi Guangjie, the county head of Huizhou Longmen Supply and Marketing Longhe Agricultural Science and Technology Service Co., Ltd. is remotely controlling a large plant protection drone, ready to spray the demonstration paddy field. With the boom sound, the rice fields according to the trend of the plane turned up huge waves, followed by the medicine mist so that rice planthice, dry blight, rice stalk and other common diseases and insects of rice have no escape.

“Spraying pesticide by airplane” saves time and effort.

“Our large plant protection drone can load 40 kilograms of water at a time and can spray about 10 mu of land.” Qi Guangjie said that the application of drone technology to agricultural production is very advantageous, plus dispensing time, a plant protection drone can complete about 50 acres of plant protection area within half an hour. Looking at the sprayed paddy fields, farmers happily said that in the past, relying on manual large-scale rice plant protection operations not only cost a lot of time, but also prone to problems such as uneven spraying and trampled damage to seedlings. This “airplane pesticide spraying” not only does not cost money, but also saves labor and labor.

“Farmers who plant rice in Huiyang in the second half of this year, as long as they meet the conditions, can spray them once for free to achieve insect and disease prevention.” Huiyang District agriculture and rural comprehensive service center director Gu happiness told reporters that the development of crop control rule is a very broad concept, drone flight prevention is only one of them, but also includes large-scale mechanical control, unified medicine, unified spraying and so on. This time in the relatively concentrated outbreak of pests and diseases to carry out unified control and rule, can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

The rice control and control work comes from Huiyang District’s commitment to the 2022 central financial agricultural production and water conservancy disaster relief fund (the fourth batch) – rice pest control and control and red fire ant prevention and control project.

According to the plan, this year, Huiyang District will carry out flight prevention and plant protection in all areas that can fly through low altitude, and carry out unified prevention and control through large plant protection equipment on the ground that cannot fly at low altitude, and implement unified control and control over the whole area’s late-growing rice. Low-toxic pesticides were purchased and distributed free of charge to middle and late rice growers in the region to implement green prevention and control of pests and diseases. In addition, on the basis of prevention and control in the first half of the year, focus on epidemic prevention and control in the red fire ant occurrence areas of the region, free distribution of red fire ant agents to key new agricultural business subjects, and do a good job of unified red fire ant prevention and control, epidemic emergency response, monitoring, census, training and publicity and technical guidance.
