On February 13, volunteers from a plant protection cooperative in Sunyuan Township, Sihong County used drones to do a good job of removing wheat fields for free for farmers who were working abroad and could not return home. During the period of epidemic prevention and control, the cooperative actively planned, scientifically arranged, and visited farmers to do a good job of spring ploughing and spring management, laying a solid foundation for a bumper harvest throughout the year.
Xu Defu, director of the Agricultural Service Center, said: “This drone can complete the spraying operations of 800 acres and 8000 acres of wheat fields in one day, and five drones can complete the spraying operations in two days. The cost is low and the efficiency is high. The advantage is that it is more precise. Through precise dispensing and spraying, it reduces pesticide residues and environmental pollution in agricultural products, and protects the agricultural ecological environment to the greatest extent. In the past two years, we are vigorously promoting drones in modern agricultural production. Applications."
