China is a large agricultural country, every season of plant protection needs a large number of artificial pesticide spraying, the number of people who are poisoned by pesticides is as large as 100,000 every year, and the fatality rate is about 20%. The harm caused by pesticide residue and pollution is even more alarming. The emergence of agricultural drones is undoubtedly an era of agricultural development needs.
Besides spraying pesticide, UAV can also measure land, monitor crop growth, monitor soil moisture and so on. UAV, as a platform, carrying different equipment can accomplish different functions.

Development advantage of agricultural UAV

1
External Environment for the Development of agricultural UAV
In our country, land is scattered, and crop variety, distribution, growth are different, so the large application machine is difficult to adapt to its disease and insect pest control requirements, and its operation has great physical damage to crops. The implementation of agricultural mechanization is limited to a large extent.
Multiple pests and diseases, emphasis on supporting the rigid demand of agricultural plant protection market.
Pesticide market downturn forces companies to transform, using agricultural drones to achieve new profit growth
2
Internal driving of the development of agricultural UAV
Intelligent manufacturing technology spillover to agricultural plant protection, greatly optimizing the performance of agricultural equipment.
Compared with logistics and aerial photography, agricultural plant protection work areas are often located in remote suburbs with sparse land, wide horizons, far away from densely populated areas, without any impact on laws and regulatory policies, and a relaxed policy environment that serves agriculture, rural areas, and farmers.

Obstacles to the development of agricultural UAV
◆◆
Although there are applications in the field of agriculture at present, the technology of agricultural drones has not yet been fully popularized in our agricultural country, which is mainly affected by the following factors:
01
Lack of professionals in agricultural drone operations
02
The technology of agricultural UAV needs to be improved
03
Land is scattered, traditional agricultural model is still the main force of agriculture
04
The cost of agriculture is high
