Planting Unmanned Aerial Pollinators Need To Learn More From Pollinating Insects

For a long time, people will be more unmanned aerial vehicle applications on the film and television aerial photography, police anti-terrorism, power line inspection and other fields, but the latest study completely changed the status quo, UAV is used to pollinate plants, which undoubtedly Is doing more valuable services.

In July 2014, Harvard Engineering and Applied Sciences, has launched a bee robot, now three years later, from the Japanese National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology researchers, but also designed the insect-sized miniature UAV. This unmanned aerial machine sticks at the bottom of a similar bee hairy horse hair, horse hair attached to a special gel, it can help unmanned aerial vehicles to complete the powder, dusting work. But now, this UAV can not work like a bee in the outdoors.

"China has not yet in the actual operation, put such a small UAV for fruit pollination." Just in Shanxi Jixian end of the apple flower pollination operations Yihui technology general manager Zhao Dongkai, is the Yu Chen net reporter said , He said, now put in the first line of fruit pollination are still some common plant protection UAV, to six rotor, eight rotor-based, and plant protection UAV pollination, we are more respected the use of pollination essence instead of Synthetic powder.

On the essence of liquid than the powder more advantages, Professor Yuan Longping is the answer: pollination essence can make hybrid rice yield up to 10%. In the lychee, longan, citrus, mango and other fruit trees, as well as eggplant, fruits and vegetables on the test found that the increase in production rate of more than 15%.

But the current domestic UAV directly on the actual situation of pollination activities, there are many years of operating experience of the pilots also feedback to reporters a lot of questions, such as: no special models for pollination can not guarantee the wind field is more suitable for pollination; The lack of mixing tools can not let the essence of the liquid even more uniform; improper operation of the pilfer can affect the timing of pollination ... ...

Industry experts still feel that unmanned aerial vehicles from the best pollinator there is still a long way, the human need to naturally pollen insects to learn more.
