Application of small and medium-sized plant protection drones in the whole process of rice pest control

In agricultural production, small-scale plant protection drones are new technological products. The development and application of small-scale plant protection drones can provide comprehensive plant protection solutions, so that farmers have scientific basis to follow, thereby increasing agricultural production. The cost of producing small plant protection drones is relatively high, and operators need to have certain professional knowledge. At present, most of the small plant protection drones are professional plant protection companies. Professional plant protection companies will provide farmers with a plan to effectively prevent and control pests and diseases in rice planting. After the plan is approved, farmers will sign a year-long pest and disease control index with the plant protection company. Dealing with pests and diseases that occur in rice cultivation [2]. The research and use of small plant protection drones has changed the mode of service provided by plant protection companies and promoted the development of plant protection companies in the direction of formalization. When plant protection companies prevent and control pests and diseases based on control indicators, they gradually create more professional aerial spraying teams, thereby effectively increasing the probability of using machinery in rice production and ensuring the economic benefits of rice planting.

In recent years, with the continuous development of science and technology, rice production in my country has realized the mechanization of harvesting and transplanting. In the prevention and control of rice production diseases and insect pests, my country mainly adopts artificial control measures. A large amount of manpower is consumed in the operation process, and the operation efficiency is not high. In the mechanized control of pests and diseases, large-scale plant protection machines were used in China at the earliest, but during the process of spraying pesticides, mud often occurred, which seriously affected the efficiency and progress of spraying pesticides. The spraying operation of small plant protection drones is mainly completed in the air, which can effectively save manpower, effectively avoid the problem of plant protection machinery getting stuck in mud, and avoid the disadvantages of manual spraying and large-scale plant protection machinery in spraying.

In the process of mechanization of agricultural production, one of the main research problems is that machinery cannot effectively adapt to various terrains. If the terrain is rough and unsuitable for mechanical work, or the machinery cannot stop normally during farm work, it will seriously affect the mechanization of agricultural production. The spraying operation of the small plant protection UAV is mainly in the air, and the operation process will not be affected by the terrain. At the same time, the small plant protection UAV is small in size, so there is no need to build a special lifting platform during the spraying operation. As long as a square space of about 2.25 m2 is vacated in the field, the small plant protection UAV can be effectively lifted [3]. Therefore, idle roads and open spaces in the field can be used as platforms for lifting small plant protection drones. If the terrain where rice is planted is hilly, mountainous, etc. that are not suitable for drone parking, when pesticide spraying operations are to be carried out, a platform can be built manually to ensure that small plant protection drones can also be raised and lowered in these uneven terrains. Normal implementation of pesticide spraying operations.
