"today, these two drones can operate on 1,200 acres of rice fields a day, and it is estimated that the pesticide application work in the southwest tianyang rice fields can be completed in one and a half days." deng jiajian, general manager of hainan nongfeike agricultural technology co., ltd. said that after the super typhoon passed, the company actively responded to the call of the provincial department of agriculture and rural affairs and deployed 50 plant protection drones to help wenchang, haikou and other places to resume agricultural production after the disaster.

chen yijiao, director of the agriculture and rural affairs bureau of xiuying district, haikou city, introduced that the late-season rice area in the xinan tianyang rice field is about 1,600 mu, all of which are planted by farmers. the passage of the super typhoon caused the failure of rice pollination. now there are "white ears" in the rice fields, which has the impact of reducing production. at the same time, the rice leaves are damaged and prone to diseases and pests. "post-disaster pest control is particularly important, and agricultural materials and machinery arrived very timely." chen yijiao said.

it is understood that in order to help farmers resume rice production and ensure food production safety, the hainan provincial department of agriculture and rural affairs fully mobilized agricultural experts and industry associations to deploy technology, agricultural materials, agricultural machinery and other forces to rice fields to promote the resumption of grain crop production. on the same day, the provincial department of agriculture and rural affairs sent pesticides and agricultural machinery to disaster areas such as chengmai to carry out post-disaster prevention and control of bacterial leaf streak disease and rice planthoppers and spray foliar fertilizers to avoid post-disaster outbreaks of diseases and pests. it is reported that the hainan provincial department of agriculture and rural affairs will also deploy forces from all parties to continue to help resume grain production after the disaster.
