Current status of research on the application of agricultural UAV application technology
As a new type of pesticide application technology,UAV application has been widely used in field crops because of its high operational efficiency,environmental protection,timeliness,low cost,and no physical damage to crops and soil compared with the traditional application.This paper summarizes the current situation of the development of agricultural UAV at home and abroad and puts forward the reasons for its rapid development,and describes the application of agricultural UAV on corn,rice,wheat,and cotton,and analyzes the main problems faced by agricultural drone application technology as follows:uneven quality,relevant policies,and regulations are not sound,the selection of special agents for fly-anti-drug control is not standardized,the safety risk is large,the battery range is weak,the after-sales service system is imperfect,and the training of flyers is limited,et al,and puts forward a proposal to address the above problems.In addition,it also looks forward to the future development direction of real-time monitoring of UAV application operation,multi-functional or multi-machine cooperation,biological control,spraying method innovation,et al,to provide a reference for the development of agricultural UAV application technology.
