Drones fly into the fields to spray pesticides to save manpower

On August 27, at the rice planting base of Haiqing Agricultural Machinery Professional Cooperative in Liyang City, two unmanned plant protection machines were seen at a height of about 1.5 meters from the ground to control rice diseases and insect pests. Zhou Guomin, head of the plant protection station in Liyang City, said that the drones are close to the ground, so that pesticides can be hit directly to the roots of rice without waste.

The use of drones has only been tried out this year, and this is also the third generation of agricultural plant protection technology. From fog machine to high-pressure pump, and then to UAV, it is not only the transformation and upgrading of agricultural mechanization, but also the innovation of agricultural flight prevention technology. "10 kilograms of pesticides are now available on 10 mu of land, an average of 1 mu per minute, saving labor, labor, environmental protection, safety and high efficiency." Zhou Guomin said.

Zhao Min, director of the Haiqing Cooperative, pointed to Tian Tou and said that this piece of rice belongs to her own, with a total of more than 3000 mu. At this time of year, she had to invite 20 or 30 workers to fight pesticides for several days in a row. On a hot day, everyone's head has to be wrapped up, and one person can only manage one mu of land for half an hour. "it's all contracted to the 'Agricultural Flying Prevention' company this year. Although you have to pay a service charge of 10 yuan per mu, which is 3 yuan more expensive than manual fertilization with a high-pressure pump, it is highly efficient, and you don't want me to look for people everywhere."

The Agricultural Flying Prevention Company was established on May 25 this year, which is a pioneering work of the Liyang supply and Marketing Cooperative. Rui Ziya, director of the Liyang supply and Marketing Society, said that in order to achieve the goal of zero growth in chemical fertilizers and pesticides, they introduced scientific and technological plant protection technology and actively promoted agricultural flight prevention. Jiangsu Sunan Agricultural material Distribution Co., Ltd. invested more than 1.1 million yuan to purchase six unmanned aircraft, in cooperation with Henan Nongfeike Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd. and Jiangsu Jinhe Plant Protection Co., Ltd., to provide integrated control of crop diseases and insect pests and weeding for agriculture in Liyang City and Jintan District. At present, they have established cooperative relations with 15 professional cooperatives, serving an area of more than 11000 mu of farmland.

It is understood that Liyang supply and Marketing Cooperatives has been listed as a pilot project of comprehensive reform in the province by the provincial supply and marketing cooperative. With the strong support of the municipal party committee and municipal government, we will comprehensively and deeply promote comprehensive reform in accordance with the general requirements of "self-transformation and serving farmers."

Reorganize and transform to expand the service space. They effectively docked the intangible resources of supply and marketing cooperatives with the tangible platform of professional cooperatives, and set up service carriers. For example, on the basis of UnionPay agricultural machinery specialized cooperatives, Shezhu supply and Marketing Cooperatives carried out the "four-in-one" transformation of grass-roots cooperatives, invested 500000 yuan to establish agricultural material distribution centers, and formed a grass-roots organization complex of "grass-roots cooperatives + cooperatives + rural cooperative + agricultural materials distribution". While serving nearly 200 peasant households and more than 2000 mu of farmland It also provides harvesting and rice transplanting services for some farmers in Langxi County, Anhui Province.

Social enterprises cooperate to improve the agricultural material management and service system. Nandu supply and Marketing Co., Ltd. invested 1.75 million yuan to cooperate with Sunong Liyang Company to set up Sunan Agricultural material Distribution Co., Ltd., transform two municipal distribution centers and 20 agricultural material outlets, standardize agricultural material distribution in 85 agricultural material chain outlets, and establish user files. Implement the traceability system. At the same time, it has promoted the transformation from agricultural sales to agricultural services, and set up the first Huachang academician workstation of Nanjing soil Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, supporting the establishment of a standardized soil testing formula laboratory. At present, soil testing formulations and expert lectures have been provided free of charge to 73 large farmers in Liyang. 98 training courses for farmers on the combination of material and technology have been held, with more than 9000 trainers.

It is reported that since 2011, the municipal government has allocated 1 million yuan annually for the construction of the agricultural service system of supply and marketing cooperatives, and more than 1 million yuan for supply and marketing cooperatives for the construction of model cooperatives and the transformation of grass-roots cooperatives. In the next step, the comprehensive reform of Liyang supply and marketing cooperatives will make three breakthroughs around the goal of "333":

In the face of the problem of the inactivity of the management system, three major centers have been set up: the guidance and service center of the municipal cooperative economic organization, the service management center for agriculture, and the investment and operation center of social assets, and improve the examination and evaluation system of grass-roots cooperatives serving agriculture. We will enhance the ability of grass-roots cooperatives to serve agriculture.

In the face of the weak construction of grass-roots organizations, three agricultural service layers should be constructed: exploring the development model of joint-stock cooperation of grass-roots supply and marketing cooperatives, the cooperative system of "city agricultural cooperative + town rural cooperative + professional cooperative", and the new mode of "co-construction of cooperatives and villages".

In the face of the problem of business degradation, we should innovate three business service forms: improve the agricultural material management service system, and construct a "five-in-one" service model with the integration of "agricultural material supply, agricultural product purchase and marketing, agricultural machinery service, agricultural technology extension and farmer training"; improve the purchase and sale service system of agricultural products, establish an "online supply and marketing cooperative" platform to cooperate with e-commerce, and develop e-commerce for agricultural products. We will improve the system of assured consumer services in rural areas and establish a chain operation network with unified identification, distribution, management and services.
