What kind of work can plant protection drones do? Plant protection drones have a wide range of uses and are widely used in planting, agriculture, forestry and other industries. Plant protection drones have many functions. For example, when used in agricultural operations, plant protection drones can act as manual operations such as fertilizing, sowing, and spraying pesticides. Plant protection drones can also be used to measure land and monitor the health of agriculture and forestry.

What can plant protection drones do?

1. Spray pesticides

Compared with the traditional method of spraying crops, the plant protection drone can accurately control pesticides, automatically quantify pesticides, and spray pesticides in a small amount, and its operating efficiency is 8 times higher than that of overhead sprayers. When the plant protection drone is spraying pesticides, the downward airflow generated by the rotor can increase the penetration of drugs into crops, save 30% - 50% of pesticides, save 90% of water, and greatly reduce the pollution of pesticides to the environment and soil.

2. Water the fields

During the process of planting crops, farmers should know the soil moisture suitable for crop growth so that they can adjust at any time. Because the soil humidity is different, the soil color is also different. The plant protection drone is flying over the field, and can observe the color change of the farmland soil, so as to know the soil humidity. In addition, farmers can also use plant protection drones to observe agricultural plants, and can see the withered leaves, stems and twigs, so as to judge whether they need to irrigate crops, which can save water and scientific irrigation.

3. Sow the seeds

Plant protection drones have been used more and more widely in recent years, fully demonstrating their advantages in fertilization and sowing. Compared with traditional agricultural machinery, plant protection drones have the advantages of high accuracy and high efficiency in sowing and fertilizing, which makes farmers work less hard, can ignore terrain conditions, facilitates transmission and transportation, and is conducive to large-scale production , Plant protection drones are very popular in the agricultural industry.

4. Fertilization

Improve the accuracy and efficiency of fertilization, reduce waste of resources and environmental pollution, while ensuring that plants receive proper nutrients, thereby promoting healthy growth of crops and increasing agricultural yields.

5. Health assessment

Plant protection drones can replace manual health assessments of crops at high altitudes in hot weather, and monitor the growth of crops for moths, pests, malnutrition, etc. In the case of large-scale planting, it takes a lot of time and energy to complete manually, and it only takes tens of minutes for drones to complete these actions.
