"UAV for agriculture is fast and safe, saving both manpower and costs." Yang Luqiang, a fruit farmer, introduced the plant protection experts who came to the Taihang Mountain Fruit Tree plant protection UAV Observation Conference.

Shunping County is a high-quality apple production area in the shallow hilly area of ​​Taihang Mountains planned by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs. It is named "Hometown of Apples in China" and "Hometown of Peach in China" by the State Forestry Administration. The planting area of ​​peaches, apples, apricots, persimmons and thin-skinned walnuts in the county is 329,000 mu, with an annual output of 860 million kilograms of fruit and an output value of 1.12 billion yuan.

In order to improve the scientific and technological level of forest and fruit management and break through the difficulties of low efficiency and high cost of plant protection brought by artificial plant protection, the Shunping County Agriculture and Rural Bureau has gradually formed a green flight control technology for agricultural UAV for fruit tree with room temperature and fog after three years of testing and exploration. Applied in the management of various fruit trees, the problem of drug application in the inner cavity of fruit trees and the back of fruit leaves has also been well solved, and the control effect of diseases and insect pests is obvious; at the same time, the advantages of saving water, medicine, time and labor are obvious. Compared with artificial plant protection, it saves 15 times of water, 1/3 of the medicine, and the efficiency is increased by 20 times.

"Shunping County will continue to carry out the pilot work of UAV plant protection for fruit trees in accordance with the requirements of the Hebei Provincial Plant Protection Station, vigorously promote the unified prevention and control of mountain fruit trees, promote the development of science and technology and green agriculture, and promote fruit farmers to save costs, increase efficiency, increase production, Increase income." Li Yunwei of Shunping County Agriculture and Rural Bureau said with confidence.
