Returnees from Lianzhou return to their hometown with drones to specialize in pest control

Original title: "Flying Apsaras" homework helps the Development of Agriculture

Lianzhou Caijun Huangshan returned to his hometown to set up a technology company, specializing in the development and application of agricultural plant protection drones.

As long as the altitude and route are set, the UAV will fly and spray on its own, without even manual control.

On the hilltop of Chaotian Xiaoan Village, Longping Town, Lianzhou City, a white drone defends against the wind, spraying atomized pesticides according to the established route. In just 5 minutes, the spraying operation of more than 4 mu of woodland was completed, which made Wu Weibing, chairman of Lianzhou Hongsen Cinnamomum camphor professional cooperative, applaud repeatedly.

"the work done by drones in five minutes is equivalent to the work of one worker in a day." Wu Weibing said that the drone is not only fast, but also sprayed accurately, but also avoids the safety risks caused by manual operation. "from now on, I will choose Mr. Huang's drone to work on this 300 mu of land."

The name of Mr. Huang in his mouth is Huang Shan, a native of Fengyang, Lianzhou, who is only 30 years old this year. After studying in Canada and returning home in 2008, he worked for Shenzhen Airlines and Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport and was authorized to fly Boeing 737 and Airbus A320.

Obsessed with mechanical design and invention, as well as the advantages and potential of drones in agriculture, Huang Shan resolutely gave up his well-paid airport job in 2015 and returned to Qingyuan to set up Qingyuan Jujin Technology Co., Ltd.

"the main purpose of this return to Lianzhou is to demonstrate that drones carry out pest control and spraying operations, and the results are good, and the growers are also very satisfied." Huang Shan told reporters that the company specializes in the development and application of agricultural plant protection drones, and plans to train and set up a professional and licensed plant protection flight team in the future to provide modern services for agricultural production and pest control in his hometown.

Spray 1 mu of land in 1 minute

"I didn't expect it so soon! For example, in a worker's traditional operation, only 4 mu of land is normally sprayed every day, but the drone takes less than 5 minutes to complete. "

The alternating stage of spring and summer is the flourishing period of plant growth. With the gradual rise of temperature in May, diseases and insect pests began to enter the prone period. However, the manual knapsack sprayer, the traditional tool for farmers to spray pesticides, has many insurmountable problems: high labor cost, long operation time, low operation efficiency and low utilization rate of pesticides.

Especially in the hilly areas with large slopes in Lianzhou, it is difficult for farmers to spray pesticides, high labor intensity and long working hours, which have a great impact on production and planting. How to effectively control diseases and insect pests? This is a difficult problem that perplexes many farmers in Lianzhou.

This camphor covers an area of about 300 mu and will enter a high incidence period of diseases and insect pests in June this year. As the outbreak of insect pests is very rapid, so we often need to finish spraying pesticides within 1 or 2 days. Once delayed, these camphor leaves will be eaten by worms, causing serious losses. " Wu Weibing, chairman of Lianzhou Hongsen Cinnamomum camphor professional cooperative, said that aromatic camphor is an efficient agricultural and forestry industry created by the club by making use of Lianzhou's unique climatic environment.

However, with a large number of rural labor force going to work in cities, the labor force engaged in agricultural production in rural areas continues to decrease, which naturally pushes up the labor cost of agricultural production. Wu Weibing said that it is very difficult to hire workers now, and the labor cost is also high. "according to past experience, we have to complete pesticide spraying within one day. Then, according to the efficiency calculation of 4 mu of land per person per day, we need to employ 80 workers to work at the same time in order to complete the pesticide spraying of more than 300 mu of land in one day. As a result, we are likely to face the dilemma of not being able to hire people and high labor costs. "

This is not an isolated case. Longping Town, Xingzi Town, Xijiang Town, Dalubian Town and other towns and townships in Lianzhou City are mainly cultivated in mountainous areas due to topography. However, the pest control of peach, pear and camphor trees is a time-tight, urgent and difficult task.

So, how to finish pesticide spraying efficiently and quickly? Huang Shan, general manager of Qingyuan Jujin Technology Co., Ltd. recently made a special trip back to his hometown with drones for demonstration.

The slope of the mountain is more than 45 degrees, so it is very difficult to work manually. But a white drone took off smoothly, spraying pesticides back and forth over the mountains at a uniform speed, and soon completed the task of spraying designated plots.

"I didn't expect it to be so soon! For example, in a worker's traditional operation, only 4 mu of land is normally sprayed every day, but the drone is completed in less than 5 minutes. " Wu Weibing is very satisfied with the operation effect of the drone.

The key to the development of UAV is the economic value of high efficiency. "the spraying efficiency of our UAV can reach 1 mu of land per minute, which can greatly save labor time and reduce labor intensity." Introduction to Huangshan.

In this regard, Wu Weibing is deeply convinced. "now we only need to buy drone services to easily achieve the ideal effect of pest control."

The operation is not affected by the terrain.

As long as the altitude and route are set, the UAV will fly and spray on its own, even without manual control, and can implement group control and group control in a short time to adapt to large area and sudden pest control.

With the acceleration of rural land transfer, there are more and more professional cooperatives, family farms and large growers in Lianzhou, and the demand for pest control is increasing. The traditional knapsack sprayer is difficult to meet the needs of large area and sudden pest control. Drones can provide a completely modern solution to the above problems.
