Plant protection drone classification and related advantages

There are many kinds of drones on the market. As far as spraying plant protection drones are concerned, they can be distinguished from the following two aspects:

1. According to the power, it is divided into oil animal and plant protection drones and electric plant protection drones

2. According to the structure of the model, it is divided into fixed-wing plant protection drones, single-rotor plant protection drones and multi-rotor plant protection drones

What are the advantages of drones for plant protection?

First of all, the efficiency of drones is very high, and the scale operation can reach 120-150 acres per hour, and its efficiency is at least 100 times higher than that of conventional spraying. In addition, it can also ensure the health and safety of agricultural personnel. Plant protection drones are remotely controlled from the ground. Or GPS flight control operation, spraying operators operate remotely to avoid the danger of exposure to pesticides, and improve the safety of spraying operations.

Secondly, agricultural drones save resources, correspondingly reduce the cost of plant protection, and can save 50% of pesticide use and 90% of water consumption.

In addition, the plant protection drone has the characteristics of low operating height, less drift, and can hover in the air. The downward airflow generated by the rotor when spraying pesticides helps to increase the penetration of the logistics to crops, and has the advantages of good control effect and so on. Moreover, electric drones are small in overall size, light in weight, low in depreciation, easy to maintain, and low in labor cost per unit operation; easy to operate, and operators can generally master the essentials and perform tasks after about 30 days of training.
