Drones are used to control mulberry diseases and insect pests in Shiquan, Shaanxi

Recently, under the skilled remote control command of the staff, a plant protection drone quickly took off with a “buzzing” sound and flew flexibly over the mulberry garden of Mingxing Village, Shiquanchihe Town, Shaanxi Province. , hovering, rising and falling, a steady stream of mist-like liquid was sprayed from the “belly” of the aircraft, and evenly sprinkled on the “changing seas and mulberry fields”, attracting many silkworm farmers to stop and watch. It turned out that this was a mulberry tree pest control site. Under the control of technicians, unmanned plant protection aircraft sprayed pesticides on the mulberry fields instead of manual labor.

This summer is extremely hot, and there is a high incidence of disease and silkworm pests in mulberry orchards. Most of the pests are mulberry thrips and red spider mites, which harm mulberry trees on the backs of the middle and lower mulberry leaves. This has brought great trouble to traditional sericulture pest control. The effect is not good, and the high temperature in summer is not conducive to long-term field operations. To this end, the county sericulture center relied on the 2022 Jiangsu-Shaanxi Cooperation Shiquan County Small Silkworm Co-breeding Ability Improvement Project to implement a sericulture pest prevention and control project. “Today I went to the aircraft (drone) unified control site to take a look. The unified control effect is quite good. One aircraft can support dozens of manpower. It is really not easy. Using this to control pests saves time and effort. There is no need to brave the high temperature. We are digging around in the mulberry field to spray pesticides,” said Long Peixing of Mingxing Village in Chihe Town happily.

Using drones to spray pesticides has obvious results, saving labor and time, spraying evenly, not wasting, using small amounts, reducing costs, and improving the effectiveness and efficiency of pest control. This is also the first demonstration application of Shiquan using drones to control diseases and pests in mulberry orchards.
