Ningming, Guangxi: Drones Use One Spray For Multiple Boosts To Ensure Increased Autumn Grain Production And Bumper Harvest

On September 22, in the corn field of Zhaibantun, Zhaimi Village, Chengzhong Town, Ningming County, Chongzuo City, agricultural technicians loaded the blended foliar fertilizer into the medicine box of the drone. With the hum of the propeller, the drone quickly took off under the operation of the staff, flew at a constant speed along the cornfield according to the set route, and sprayed a uniform white cloud downwards. In just a few minutes, foliar fertilization of 10 acres of land was completed.

Smart drones can spray foliar fertilizers on an area of about 1,000 acres every day. Using plant protection drones to prevent and control diseases and pests can not only reduce labor intensity, but also alleviate the long-standing problem of "difficulty in spraying pesticides" in agricultural plant protection. Fang Weiyu, a villager in Zhaimi Village, Chengzhong Town, has planted more than 10 acres of corn this year. At present, some corns have grown taller than people. It is difficult and inefficient to use manual pesticides to prevent pests and diseases. With the plant protection drone, he is confident in pest control.
