Why drone agriculture plant protection has a broad market

Hello, at present, there are 1.8 billion oil farmlands in China, of which 1.5 billion are field crops.

The 1.5 billion crops are mainly rice, wheat and other food crops, and the traditional manual spraying and large-scale machine spraying will cause poisoning, trampling on the problem of plants, and most of Japan's farmland is the use of drones to spray, and the utilization rate is extremely high, so drone agriculture plant protection has a broad market.

I've read the planning book of Daejeon Agricultural Service before, and it makes a lot of sense, which is probably what it means.

The cultivated land area is the basis of the market, and the technological upgrading of agricultural tools is the potential of the market.

One is to accelerate the process of agricultural mechanization, improve the level of mechanization in the agricultural industry, and reduce the rate of direct participation of human resources in agricultural work. The other is to improve the efficiency of agricultural operations and increase farmers' incomes.

Plant protection UAVs are divided into electric multi-rotor and fuel direct-drive multi-rotor. In the case of electric multi-rotor, it is only suitable for low crops such as wheat, corn, and rice, and it wilts when it encounters tall plants such as fruit trees and trees.

First, the battery life is short, the battery has to be charged for 15min, and the battery is up to 400 cycles.

the second is that the load is small, and if you can't hit a few acres of land, you have to come back to add medicine;

The third is that it can't penetrate the leaves, and it has no effect.

Fuel direct drive is suitable for any crop, first of all, it can ignore the cost of battery loss, take Shenzhen Changfeng production of Tianma-2A as an example, the minimum spray width of four meters makes the operation efficiency higher, the engine drives the propeller to produce a strong pressure so that the rain and dew are fully sprayed in all directions, the maximum 70kg, 1-3 hours of endurance and load, the number of acres of operation per day can be imagined.

According to the statistics of Mount Everest navigation, China's plant protection UAV in 2015 reached 2,324 (31 provinces statistics), with a total operating area of 10,000 acres, the proportion of UAV plant protection, and the United States, Japan's agricultural aviation operations accounted for the proportion of cultivated land respectively, and the world average level has reached 17% higher than China's, it is not difficult to see that China is still in its infancy in aviation plant protection.

At present, the process of agricultural mechanization in China is accelerating, and the low rate of plant protection mechanization is the biggest shortcoming of China's current agricultural mechanization.

In recent years, the national agricultural machinery purchase subsidy has been very large, in 2015 reached 100 million, once the plant protection drone into the national level of subsidies, in order to make up for the shortcomings of agricultural mechanization, the corresponding subsidies will be great. It is estimated that China's plant protection drone market space will reach 3.5 billion yuan in 2017, and the average annual compound growth rate in the next five years (2017-2021) will be about 12.8 billion yuan in 2021.

Pure hand-played, I hope it helps you! Thank you!

China's agricultural area is huge, the level of agricultural mechanization is very low, the future development space of UAVs in the field of agricultural plant protection is very large, the best plant protection machine is DJI's MG1S, on the basis of MG-1, MG-1S's flight control system, environmental perception system and spraying system have been upgraded. In terms of flight control system, the MG-1S adopts the DJI A3 flight controller, and its algorithm has been fully optimized to help the drone fly smoothly even when the liquid medicine is shaking. With the addition of dual barometers and dual compasses, the flight control system can immediately switch to another set of sensors when the flight data is abnormal to ensure flight safety.

In terms of environmental perception system, a high-precision millimeter-wave radar is installed at the front, rear and bottom of the MG-1S. The front and rear oblique radars can detect the terrain in advance and combine them with the downward radar to accurately set the altitude. Through uninterrupted scanning, the MG-1S can perceive the terrain changes in the flight direction in advance, and adjust the flight altitude in time according to the terrain and crop altitude, so as to achieve terrain-following flight and uniform spraying.

It's not bad at the moment, mainly DJI and XAG.

At present, there are many enterprises and brands that do agricultural plant protection drones, but there are indeed many indiscriminate ones. Agricultural drones can be considered special-purpose drones. Plant protection drones need to maintain high-intensity continuous operation in a high-temperature, high-humidity and high-corrosive environment, need to have good stability, spray flow should be accurate and controllable, and the aircraft design should fully consider the influence of the rotor wind field on the fog droplets.

These are the conditions that must be met by plant protection drones. In addition, it is also necessary to have professional pilots, special pesticides that can be applied to drones, and standard operating procedures to finally ensure the effect of spraying using drones. After all, no matter how much the efficiency of plant protection drones can be improved, it ultimately depends on the effect of pesticide application and prevention and control.

Otherwise everything is just empty talk.

Promising, we often receive similar consultations, many netizens consult the purchase of plant protection drones to provide plant protection services for farmers, and now plant protection operations are more than 15 yuan per mu, and even 30 yuan in some places.

Summary. Qinqin agriculture requires drone spraying, solid fertilizer sowing, powder spraying, seed precision sowing and other operations.

The demand for drones in the agricultural sector.

Qinqin agriculture requires drone spraying, solid fertilizer sowing, powder spraying, seed precision sowing and other operations.

At the same time, in order to adapt to a variety of spreading scenarios and improve the flexibility of operation, the roller type quantifier can be disassembled and replaced, and the quantifier with different trough sizes can be selected according to the actual spreading needs to flexibly adapt to a variety of spreading scenarios.

Problems faced by drones in agricultural applications.

1 Lack of industry standards, there is no standard to adapt to the national conditions in China, even if the standard conditions are not mature, but the product specifications must be preliminarily determined, after all, agricultural drones are also related to safety products.

2 The quality of the drone is not up to par, and crashes occur from time to time;

3. Training and after-sales service are not in place, and buyers have no one to fly and dare not fly, which is regarded as a decoration; Finding a professional pilot to control the aircraft increases the cost;

4.The battery life cost is too high.

5.Training and after-sales are not in place.

The status of access standards for agricultural drones.

The requirements for the degree of flight path of the aircraft are put forward, and the results of flight accuracy are managed, and there is no enforcement of how to achieve it, which is also encouraging technological innovation. "The flight trajectory must be measured using a high-precision RTK positioning system" is a requirement for inspection methods in the standard. In other words, RTK technology is needed to check whether the aircraft's route meets the flight accuracy requirements, not the aircraft itself. ）

There is still a huge gap between the application level of aircraft operation in China and the average level of 30%-50% of aircraft operation in developed agricultural countries, and the research on the use of plant protection aircraft to carry out spraying technology is still in the initial stage. However, the rise of new agricultural subjects such as large planters, cooperatives and family farms, as well as a series of changes in the agricultural materials market under the new situation, are providing sufficient favorable conditions for the development of China's agricultural plant protection machine operations. The domestic agricultural plant protection machine market has great potential, the market can accommodate 150,000 agricultural plant protection drones, and the total annual service value is expected to be 45 billion.

In recent years, with the country to identify agriculture and information technology as a key area, aviation plant protection has made breakthroughs in China, and shows great development and application prospects, the combination of science and technology and agriculture has long become the mainstream of agricultural development.
