The Lanjiang Technology Orchard Autonomous Spraying Machine has arrived in Feng County, Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province.
According to Mr. Wu, the person in charge of the orchard, Fengxian has abundant sunshine and rainfall. Compared to the main apple producing areas in Shandong and Shaanxi, Fengxian's apple flowering occurs about ten days earlier and fruit fertility extends for more than thirty days. This is more conducive to the accumulation of nutrients.
The high yield of apple is also inseparable from the fine plant management
Due to the warmth and humidity in Fengxian, it is easy for apple plants to harbor fungal diseases and leaf diseases. Once infected with these diseases, they not only easily cause the death of the whole fruit tree, but also affect other plants in the same area.
Therefore, in order to prevent the occurrence of apple diseases and fungi, the orchard should be plant protection once every half a month, and 12-18 times a year.
To prevent the occurrence of apple diseases and fungi, plant protection should be carried out in the orchard once every half a month, 12-18 times a year.
Under traditional plant protection management, orchard owners often need to hire additional workers to meet high frequency plant protection needs.
However, according to the orchard owner, he now manages the orchard with his family and only hires additional help during special periods when he is too busy. Hiring workers incurs additional expenses, which increases the cost of apple cultivation.
Due to the acceleration of urbanization and the aging of rural populations, the cost of labour is becoming increasingly expensive, and it is becoming more and more difficult to find workers.
Therefore, solving the problem of expensive and scarce labour has become a major challenge for many orchards seeking to reduce costs and improve efficiency.
The orchard multifunctional robot can operate fully autonomously after planning the operation. It can cover 150 acres of apple orchards and complete plant protection spraying in a single day.
The individual responsible for the orchard stated that the machine is faster than manual labour, equivalent to several workers, and provides a more accurate and uniform spraying effect.
