What is a Plant Protection Drone?

Bird's Eye View Of Cropland During Dawn

Plant protection drone, as the name suggests, is an unmanned aircraft used for agricultural and forestry plant protection operations, this type of unmanned aircraft consists of a flight platform (fixed-wing, single-rotor, multi-rotor), GPS flight control, spraying mechanism consists of three parts, through the remote control on the ground or GPS flight control, to realize the spraying operation, you can spraying agents, seeds, powders and so on.

There are two key words, one is “agriculture and forestry plant protection”, which explains the use of this machinery is used for plant protection, agricultural plant protection, simply put is the use of tools, drugs, etc. for the protection of crops, prevention and killing of pests and weeds, to ensure that the growth of crops, to ensure the ripening of fruits, and to increase the yield of food. In the countryside, there are “three kinds of seed, seven points to protect”, plant protection can be said to be “insect mouth to seize food”. Over the years, the grain yield has reached record highs, and plant protection is inseparable. 

Another is “unmanned aircraft”, which means that this is a remote control, no manned aircraft, means a modern intelligent machinery used in agriculture, which will accelerate the change of global agricultural modernization, and continue to enhance the level of specialization of agricultural services, socialization, and thus will also reverse the promotion of agricultural drone industry. Booming development.

The development of plant protection drone

As early as the beginning of the 20th century, there was a precedent of applying airplanes for agricultural plant protection in Canada, but at that time, manned airplanes were used.

Japan was one of the first countries to use micro and small agricultural drones in agricultural production. 1987, Yamaha was commissioned by the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture to produce the first 20kg-class spraying drone “R-50”, and since then Japan has widely used unmanned helicopters for field crops. After that, Japan has widely used unmanned helicopters on field crops.

Domestic agricultural plant protection drones began research and development in 2005, and the first oil-operated plant protection drone was developed and field trials were conducted in 2010.

With the progress of science and technology and the cost reduction brought by mass production, the global plant protection drone has entered a high-speed development stage since 2015, and the drone technology adopts RTK precise positioning combined with the flight control system to map the field and intelligently plan the route, one-key takeoff and landing, return flight, breakpoint spraying, autonomous spraying, and voltage return to detect the status of the drone, and various drone autonomy and intelligent operation functions have gradually been realized, and the distance from the real unmanned operation is getting closer and closer. ‍
