During the period of spring ploughing and spring management of wheat, plant protection drones staged a "defense battle" to increase production in many places across the country.

In a drip-irrigated wheat field in Towanke Agele Village, Tamutograk Town, Awati County, Xinjiang, the drone plant protection team is carrying out unified control over wheat, using plant protection drones to spray drugs and water-soluble fertilizers . During this process, the technicians also gave detailed answers to farmers on the knowledge of drone dispensing, spraying, operation technology and field management. Aimer Maitiniyaz, a villager in Agele Village, Towanke, planted 100 mu of wheat this year. He told reporters that he used to carry a sprayer on his back for spraying medicine. It took a week to complete the 100 mu of land, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive. , the control effect is still very general. Now, the use of drones to spray medicines is completed in less than an hour, which makes him particularly happy. "The development of science and technology has greatly saved manpower and material resources. I will study the operation of drones and use technology to help agricultural production and increase my economic income." Amer Metiniyaz said.

The legal person of Awati Changxi Agricultural Science and Technology Co., Ltd., Ablikmu Maihaimati, said: "Since April this year, the company has sprayed 800 mu of land, and the efficiency is very high. It plans to spray 50,000 mu of land throughout the year."

It is understood that there are 2 drone plant protection and flight defense companies in Awati County, with a total of more than 350 drones available for deployment. At present, the wheat flying prevention operation in the whole county is proceeding in an orderly manner.

The use of drones to help increase wheat production was also staged in Shangcai County, Henan Province.

"The blooming period is only a few days. Most farmers are unable to grasp the blooming period, the quality of pesticides used is uneven, and the pesticide ratio lacks professional guidance." Xie Weihua, an agricultural expert in Shangcai County, told reporters that this year's wheat planting in Shangcai County The area is about 1.44 million mu, involving 26 townships (streets), and the task of controlling pests and diseases is heavy and time is tight.

In order to solve this problem, Shangcai County chose to cooperate with agricultural companies with abundant equipment and experience through public bidding, and mobilized nearly 1,000 unmanned plant protection machines and started operations at the same time. Hu Huanhuan, the deputy county magistrate of Shangcai County, made a calculation to the reporter. The farmers sprayed pesticides by themselves. The cost of one mu of land was more than 20 yuan, and the effect was not guaranteed. The cost of unified prevention and control is allocated to each mu of land, and the average spraying cost is about 12 yuan. According to the experience of last year, the increase in yield per mu is about 10%. Farmers do not need to worry about the impact of pests and diseases, and can achieve production growth while saving costs. , kill three birds with one stone.
