[Commentary] "In production and life, sometimes we do things in March and April, and we have our own answers in August and September." In the spring ploughing season, in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, plant protection drones and tractors equipped with the Beidou satellite automatic driving system were running across the fields. On April 5, a plant protection drone hovered over 20 acres of apricot orchards in Oimanbulak Village, Guolebuyi Township, Toksun County, Xinjiang, changing the scene of artificial pollination in the past.
[Explanation] After about 30 minutes of preparation work by researchers and pilots in Xinjiang, 20 liters of pollen solvent was automatically polled by the drone for 10 minutes.

So today we use drones for artificial pollination, the purpose is to improve pollination efficiency, then in a short period of time, our drones can fly a large area, and the effect is better, the most important thing is that the cost is relatively low.
[Explanation] Nowadays, intelligent high-tech is widely used in Xinjiang, and more farmers in Xinjiang benefit from "smart agriculture". The reporter learned that there are more than 80,000 mu of apricot trees planted in Toxon County. If you use drones to replace small bees or artificial pollination, it will greatly save the labor force of farmers.
[Explanation] On the scene, from takeoff to landing, the drone automatically performs the entire operation. This seems to Han Shaohua, a manager of a plant protection service company, this is just a simple operation.

It takes more than ten minutes from the start of dispensing to the completion of the entire operation. If it is replaced by labor, it will take at least one day for a person to complete pollination of the entire 20 acres, which greatly improves the efficiency of this operation.
【Commentary】 On March 31, at the Xinjiang Agricultural and Rural Work Conference, the local government officially announced that in 2020, Xinjiang will continue to actively develop advantageous and characteristic industries, and adhere to the core of increasing agricultural efficiency and increasing farmers' income.
【Explanation】 The data shows that the comprehensive mechanization level of crop cultivation and harvest in Xinjiang reached 84.68% in 2018. After years of development, agricultural mechanization in Xinjiang is moving from the main link of agricultural production to "full course", and from the cultivation of main crops to "comprehensive" popularization.
