In modern agricultural production, industrial drones have become the core equipment in the field of plant protection with their efficient and precise operation capabilities. Agricultural plant protection drones adopt a modular design, with a standard 10-20-liter large-capacity medicine tank. The operation area per flight can reach 60 acres, and the spraying efficiency per minute is more than 30 times that of manual work. Equipped with millimeter-wave radar and multi-spectral sensors, it can scan the growth of farmland crops in real time, automatically identify pest and disease areas, achieve precise pesticide spraying, reduce the waste of pesticides by more than 30%, and at the same time reduce the pollution to soil and water sources.
The terrain adaptability of drones is particularly outstanding: Whether it is a paddy field on the plain, an orchard in the hills, or a tea garden on the terraces, its intelligent flight control system can automatically adjust the flight altitude and spraying parameters according to the terrain to ensure uniform coverage of the pesticides. The night operation mode is equipped with a strong light searchlight and an infrared camera to meet the all-weather plant protection needs. The supporting ground station software supports plot planning and operation data statistics. Farmers can import the boundaries of the farmland with one click on the mobile terminal, and the drone can complete autonomous flight and resume spraying at the breakpoint, greatly reducing the operation threshold.
Compared with traditional plant protection methods, the advantages of drone plant protection lie not only in the improvement of efficiency but also in promoting the digital transformation of agriculture. After the operation data is synchronized to the cloud, a crop health index report can be generated, providing a decision-making basis for precision fertilization and irrigation. According to actual measurements, in the farmland using plant protection drones, the effect of pest and disease control is increased by 40%, and the average cost per mu is reduced by 25%, helping farmers achieve "cost reduction and income increase." With the advancement of the rural revitalization strategy, agricultural drones are becoming a standard configuration of smart agriculture. From sowing and fertilizing to pest and disease control, they empower every inch of land with technology and lead agricultural production towards a new journey of precision and intelligence.
