Liaoning | Promoting the Mechanization of Hazelnut Plant Protection
Aug 05 , 2022Liaoning Tieling hazelnut planting has a long history and is known as "China's hazelnut capital". Hazel is widely grown in the local area and is one of the main sources of income for local farmers. A large number of hazel trees are planted in hills and mountains, drone sprayer for plant protection is difficult, and inorganic availability is a problem for hazel farmers.
The mechanization and digitization of mountain planting is slow, and artificial plant protection is still the mainstream.
As a local experienced plant protector, Zhu Youyi, based on his understanding of the local planting situation and his own planting experience, decided to devote himself to developing the mechanization of agricultural drone for hazel tree planting for the current situation that no inorganic plant is available.
From the first time he came into contact with EAVISION drones to protect his hazel trees, he saw the good effects and high efficiency brought by the use of drones for plant protection. Under his demonstration role, plant protection orders from nearby hazel farmers also began to fly to Zhu Youyi in an endless stream.
For the plant protection scheme combining hazelnut medicine and machine, Zhu Youyi concluded: There are basically no breathing holes on the front of hazel leaves, and most of the breathing holes are facing down on the back of the leaves, and it is difficult for the traditional spraying method to hit the liquid medicine to the leaves. Back, so lead to poor absorption, poor control effect. The "wind and fog synchronization" of the EAVISION UAV can effectively send the liquid medicine to the back of the leaves and the tree trunks for all-round coverage. At the same time, the small particle size of the spray droplets of the medicine is more conducive to the rapid absorption of plants, and there is no need to worry even if it rains.
According to preliminary understanding, it takes 6-7 people a day to spray 100 acres of hazel trees, and if it only takes half a day for one unit to work with EAVISION drones, the saving of working hours is obvious.
Throughout the entire operation season, Zhu Youyi has been busy running around in various villages and towns and in the mountains, racing against time to seize the best prevention and control period for hazelnut farmers. In the case of a large number of transitions, the monthly average number of acres of work is easy. Reach 4,000 acres, and get a high return of more than 40,000 monthly net income.
Having been with hazelnuts in the mountains for many years, hazelnut drone sprayer planting is not like a career, but more of a feeling. With the joint efforts of Zhu Youyi and EAVISION drones, the local hazelnut planting industry has re-emerged, and he has more ambitions for his own business - helping local hazelnut farmers increase production and income, reduce costs and increase efficiency, and share mechanization. Good income from good planting.
