The advantages of UAV spraying herbicide instead of UAV, UAV can only operate after passing the training certificate.

Due to the outflow of rural population and aging and other problems, how to use machinery and equipment to reduce the use of manpower has become an important issue, and the use of drones to spray pesticides has become one of the choices. The Council of Agriculture recently announced the draft amendment to some provisions of the "measures for Pesticide use and Pesticide residue testing of Agricultural products". It is pointed out that pesticide spraying by drones should be carried out by those who have obtained qualified certificates on behalf of the agricultural pharmaceutical industry.

Measures of the Bureau of Prevention and Inspection for predicting the use of pesticides and sampling testing of Pesticide residues in Agricultural products

Last year, the Civil Aviation Law was amended to take control of remote-controlled drones, stipulating that "no objects may be thrown or sprayed by remote-controlled drones," which urgently needs to be released by the Council of Agriculture. Therefore, the Council of Agriculture recently announced some draft amendments to the "measures for Pesticide use and sampling of Pesticide residues in Agricultural products", stipulating that "the operation of pesticide application on unmanned aerial vehicles shall be carried out by those who spray pesticides on their behalf. Its operators and unmanned flying vehicles shall comply with the provisions of the Civil Aviation Law and relevant laws and regulations, and operators must obtain a certificate of qualified training for pesticide spraying technicians in the category of aerial application before they can operate."

The spray of the unmanned vehicle shall not exceed 4 meters of the crown.

Zou Huijuan, deputy director of the Prevention and Inspection Bureau of the Council of Agriculture, said that the original aerial pesticide application was for aircraft to spray pesticides on a large scale, so it was stipulated in the method that residents should be notified three days in advance, but after switching to drones, the working space was small, so it would not affect the normal work and rest of residents, so it was pointed out in the measures that "spraying with unmanned vehicles" did not need to be notified three days in advance.

Zou Huijuan said: the measures stipulate that the spraying operation of unmanned aerial vehicles should be carried out by spraying agents, and the Civil Aviation Law also stipulates that only legal persons can register, so at present, those who can use drones to apply medicine are those who have legal persons registered. The method stipulates that the crown should not exceed 4 meters, she explained, because if the distance is too high, there may be a risk of drifting, and the operators should also fill in the application records and upload the flight trajectory to the system after application.

Zou Huijuan also said that at present, the establishment of relevant courses planned by the Prevention and Inspection Bureau and the Institute of drugs and drugs will also have a better grasp of the current situation of drone spray operators.
