[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles, in particular to a stay wire type precise pesticide spraying unmanned aerial vehicle. BACKGROUND
[0002] Chemical control of pesticide spraying on fruit trees is an effective plant protection method commonly used in orchards, and good spraying quality is a favorable guarantee for high yield and stable yield of orchards. According to statistics, fruit trees need to be sprayed with pesticides 8-15 times a year, and the work load of pesticide spraying in orchards accounts for about 30% of the total work load of fruit tree management. It is the most time-consuming and important operation project.
[0003] However, the traditional fruit tree pesticide spraying has the following shortcomings:
[0004] (1) The development of plant protection machinery and pesticide application technology is relatively slow. Large-scale prevention and control operations often use large-capacity washing type continuous pesticide spraying. The pesticide spraying machine operates regardless of the planting mode of fruit trees and the differences between fruit trees, and uses the same pesticide spraying method. This extensive pesticide spraying method makes the pesticide utilization rate and operation efficiency very low, and the pesticide deposition rate on the branches and leaves of fruit trees is only 15%-20%. About 20%-30% or more of the small pesticide droplets will drift to non-spraying target areas with air flow, which not only wastes pesticides and water resources, reduces the prevention and control effect on pests and diseases, but also seriously pollutes the environment.
[0005] (2) Excessive pesticide residues in agricultural products will not only seriously harm people's health, but also affect the export of agricultural products and the sustainable development of agricultural production. SUMMARY
