Chinese Agricultural Drones, Go To Southeast Asia To Spray!

Drones are widely used in agriculture, such as forest protection, quantitative feeding in fisheries, surveying and mapping, and pesticide spraying.

 Chinese drones are already quite common in agriculture.

Taking agricultural drones as an example, the number of agricultural drones operated by professional pest control service organizations alone exceeded 120,000 last year, and the operating area exceeded 1.07 billion mu.

Agricultural drones were new a few years ago, but now they are very common in rural areas. Today's plant protection drones are more intelligent. Artificial intelligence helps drones to identify farmland boundaries, fruit tree statistics, weeds, diseases and insect pests, cotton flocking, etc. Manufacturers can also set patterns for specific crops.

This also makes the operation of agricultural drones simpler and more efficient. In 2015, the operating efficiency was only 50 mu/hour, and last year, it has increased to a level of as high as 320 mu/hour.

Last year, there were more than 200,000 pilots of agricultural drones in China. With so many employees, it means that the pilot industry has become very involved. The market that was very profitable in the past no longer exists, so many people have left. this industry.

However, in Southeast Asia, the application of drones in agriculture has yet to be popularized.

Chinese drone makers have made some inroads into this market.

Such as the most widely used agricultural drones.

Commercial crops such as palms and durians are grown in many places in Southeast Asia, and they grow very tall. In addition, the terrain is relatively rugged, using traditional methods, such as knapsack manual sprayers, knapsack electric sprayers, stretcher sprayers, pedal sprayers, and motorized high-pressure spray guns to spray pesticides, either the machine cannot be transported in, or the spraying is inconvenient and sufficient. If not, the work efficiency is low and the labor intensity is high.

Manual spraying in the hot outdoor is easy to suffer from heat stroke, and pesticides in the air or on the skin surface are also easy to be poisoned.

Also, there are times when drones come in handy for other agricultural work, such as mapping trees and fields.

In Indonesia, drones are used to spray palm forests, reducing costs by more than 30%. The EAVISION agricultural drone provides a customized service "oil palm mode" for oil palm pest control, spraying the heart of the tree at a fixed point, which can save pesticides.

If the traditional manual method is used to spray oil palm, only about 4 hectares can be sprayed a day, but with EAVISION EA-30X, about 15 hectares can be sprayed a day, which is equivalent to 3-4 times the labor efficiency, which is very labor-saving.

Labor saving is very important to agriculture in many countries.

In the dilemma of labor shortage, locals began to use drones to spray pesticides on crops, and the experience was good. Manually spraying pesticides can cover 20 mu of paddy fields in a day, and plant protection drones can operate hundreds of mu a day, which is three or four times more efficient.
