Jingdong plant protection drone assists cotton bollworm prevention and control work

[ China Agricultural Machinery Industry News ] Recently, a large area of ​​insects has been reported in Xingcheng, Huludao City, Liaoning Province, and 50,000 mu of peanut fields have been plagued by cotton bollworms. Helicoverpa armigera, also known as "drilling peach worm", is a common pest widely distributed throughout China. Cotton bollworms are fast-moving and spreading quickly. Time prevention is equal to helping farmers directly recover their losses!

Jingdong plant protection drone assists in the prevention and control of insects

The Jingdong Feifang Alliance was initiated by the Jingdong X Business Unit to provide plant protection services for domestic farmers and agricultural bases. Previously, more than one thousand plant protection drones have been called, and the total number of spray protections has exceeded 2 million mu. This time, the Jingdong Feifang Alliance urgently called 20 plant protection drones within 24 hours to carry out drug spraying operations in the affected areas. The cotton bollworm control work of 50,000 mu of peanut fields was completed in only 5 days. The leaders of the Xingcheng Municipal Party Committee, the mayor and other leaders visited the operation site and fully affirmed the disaster relief of the Jingdong Flying Defense Alliance.

Flying defense plant protection team in the homework

Jingdong plant protection drones are extremely efficient, and they can race against time to fight against pests. Taking the prevention and control of cotton bollworm in the 50,000-mu peanut field in Hsing City, Huludao as an example, the traditional manual control requires 50 people to complete the work for 200 days. The Jingdong plant protection drone completes all the operations in only 5 days, 40 times faster than the artificial. . Moreover, the special design of Jingdong Plant Protection UAV's under-washing airflow can blow the syrup into the already densely grown plants, avoiding direct contact between the control personnel and the agent to cause injury.

In the face of large-scale insect outbreaks such as the Huludao Xingcheng City, there is almost no response to the use of traditional artificial and large-scale instruments. The prevention and control efficiency is extremely low, and it is often only hoped that the insects will sigh and watch the crops suffer a devastating blow in a short period of time. . The excellent maneuverability of the plant protection drone, dozens of times the labor rate and better spraying effect have clearly become a good choice for pest control.

The meaning behind "technology + agriculture" is more profound

Jingdong Unmanned Plant Protection Machine is affiliated to Jingdong X Business Department of “Playing” Black Technology. At the X Business Department, it has completed a series of unmanned technology applications such as drones, unmanned vehicles and unmanned warehouses. Explore the value of these black technologies in other application scenarios. In the face of China's more than 100 billion plant protection market, Jingdong has built a plant protection drone industrial chain around plant protection drone products.

“Inconsistent industry strength and insufficient supporting services” is a major bottleneck in the practical application of plant protection drones. For agroforestry, what is needed is not only a plant protection drone equipment, but also related supporting services. The Jingdong plant protection drone not only brought convenience to the agriculture and forestry workers, but also promoted the development of agroforestry in a more rational, standardized and standardized direction. Jingdong Feifang Alliance's professional and intelligent plant protection drone disaster relief service also practices the concept of Jingdong's "technology changes agriculture, technology changes life". In addition, Jingdong also provides services such as platform, channel and logistics for agricultural and forestry by-products, and is driven by intelligent technology to create a technologically advanced and intelligent future agricultural system.

Plant protection drone service is a major step forward for Jingdong in the agricultural field, and it will fully benefit agriculture in this golden age of technology. Jingdong said that through the more effective realization of the unified coordination of resources, farmers and forestry practitioners will experience the new value brought by the large-scale sharing technology, so that science and technology, intelligence and synergy can be realized in agriculture and forestry.

In the future, JD.com will be welcoming the upcoming fourth retail revolution as a “retail infrastructure provider”. Expanding technology and services in the field of plant protection drones is also its insistence on promoting retail infrastructure innovation and through open empowerment. A striking example of how to benefit more industries.
