Despite the large investment costs, the spraying of plant protection agents (plant protection) by drones (Drones) significantly reduces labor work, reduces the loss of 30% of the drug, saves 95-97% of the water and More important is to limit environmental pollution, affect farmers’ health.
Reduce time and cost

When the movement of young workers to big cities for work takes place quickly, it leaves a “headache” about human resources serving agricultural production. Modern machine tools are considered as the optimal solution to solve the problem of lack of manual labor in the field. To solve the problem of sowing, seeding machines, rice transplanting machines gradually replace. To deal with the harvest, combine harvester is widely used. For post-harvest preservation, large capacity drying systems are utilized, farmers sell fresh rice directly instead of exposing themselves to sun drying as before … Drone demonstration workshop in Vong Dong commune (Thoai Son) However, although machines support many stages, but with rice care tasks, such as weeding, mixing, fertilizing, spraying pesticides … still need a lot of manual labor. “Each rice crop must be sprayed with many drugs, not to mention the pest must increase the number of sprays. My family cultivates 3ha of land, employs 2 people to spray it for more than half a day, and has to supervise to make sure they spray the fields. The rice was being sprayed in the seed, the rice was trampled down, the recovery was slow, and it looked pity. These days, when it is urgent, it is not easy to find someone to spray drugs ”- said farmer Tran Van Minh (Vong The commune, Thoai Son). For the pesticide spray problem, the use of Drones (unmanned aircraft) as a salvage. Farmer Phan Thanh Bac (Vong Dong commune, Thoai Son) said that his family has more than 5 hectares of rice land, each time he hires someone to spray it is very difficult and takes a lot of time, so he has invested more than half a billion dong to buy Drones. both used for home fields and hired by pesticide spraying services. According to Mr. Bac, if the person carrying the sprayer can take 2-3 hours to finish spraying 1ha of land, with Drone, it only takes … 8 minutes. “Since the introduction of the Drone into the field, it helps to reduce a lot of labor, reduce costs but increase rice yield. Less than 1 year, I have been spraying pesticides for more than 3,200 ha of rice farmers in the district. With the cost of spraying 180,000 VND / ha, after deducting all the costs, I have recovered the capital to buy the original Drone ”- Mr. Bac said. As expected, Mr. Bac will invest in buying an additional drone to expand pesticide spraying service. Need to support farmers Ngoc Anh Food Company Limited (Thoai Son) is a distributor, maintenance and training drone for Dai Thanh Joint Stock Company. Director of Ngoc Anh Food Company Limited Cao Van Tan said that over the past 1 year, the company sold 9 P-GLOALCHECK pesticide spraying aircraft to farmers in the province. Because the selling price is still quite high (from 534-609 million VND / machine), it is mainly sold to farmers with a large field area, first serving their home, then spraying pesticides service. Through practical assessment, Drones can reduce the loss of 30% of pesticides in spraying, reduce labor by about 20 times, save 95-97% of water, limit environmental pollution and more importantly, farmers do not continue. Direct contact with pesticides such as spraying should limit health effects. The special feature of the Drone provided by Dai Thanh is a versatile machine that is not fussy about drugs (dissolved powder, water or oil emulsion), applying centrifugal spray technology to bring high accuracy. The particle when coming out of the nozzle is very small and smooth, helping to reduce the actual amount of water needed while ensuring even surface spread. Centrifugal spray technology makes water droplets swirl, making the contact with pests on the underside of the leaves more effective, the ability to concentrate Drone to spray the drug quickly. Drones are also capable of spraying at night, accurately spraying with the control of on-board spray technology, pest diagnosis application to synchronize data with the aircraft to automatically spray into the pest area. Using Drones, it helps to reduce the losses of 150-200 kg rice / ha compared to conventional spraying because the rice is not trampled. Mr. Vo Thanh Manh (Deputy Head of Technical Department, An Giang Agricultural Extension Center) said that An Giang is the province with the second largest rice production area in the Mekong Delta. agricultural concern. Especially, for nearly 2 years now, the technology of unmanned aircraft spraying pesticides on rice and fruit trees has started to develop quite strongly. This is an activity in the project of implementing high technology application in agricultural cultivation, improving production efficiency for farmers in the province. Although the utility of the Drones has been proven, the problem is that the price of Drones is still high, many farmers are difficult to access. To expand the area served by Drone, it is necessary to have policies for farmers to borrow loans to support interest rates or business units to coordinate with banks to support capital for farmers. That is also how to solve the problem of lack of human resources in agriculture today.
