How to "save" 1,200 tons of pesticides in the 2016 Anhui pesticide "zero growth" action

"Finding a professional team is indeed better than saving medicine by yourself, and the effect is better
.
" "Reduce the amount and increase efficiency.
" This year, the province's pesticide use is about 13,300 tons, which is 1,200 tons less than last year in the early winter.
After sowing the wheat, Anhui The northern region entered the slack farm
.
In the Agricultural Technology Demonstration Park located in Horticulture Village, Guiji Town, Fengtai County, there is still a busy scene
.
On November 14, when the reporter arrived, two silver-white drones were hovering at low altitude
.
As the pilot in the blue uniform operated the handle, the drone climbed, forwarded, reversed, turned and landed on the platform
.
"Grasp the agricultural slack, the company arranges centralized training to improve the operation level of the pilots
.
" Although he is less than 30 years old, Zhang Yan is already the captain of the flight defense team of the Anhui company of Nongfeike.
He told reporters that in the past one or two years, UAVs are used in agricultural plant protection to quickly heat up
.
"This is due to the implementation of the pesticide "zero growth" action.
As an efficient plant protection tool, drones can effectively improve operational efficiency and reduce the amount of pesticides used.
They are welcomed
.
" Huang Qiuyun, deputy director of the Provincial Plant Protection Station, told reporters
.
Our province is a major agricultural province, as well as a major province in the production and use of pesticides
.
In recent years, the use of pesticides has increased too fast, "mainly because the use of drugs is unscientific and the utilization rate is low
.
" Huang Qiuyun said
.
To this end, last year our province launched the "zero growth" action for pesticides, requiring the control of the increase in pesticides, and strive to achieve zero growth in the total amount of pesticide use by 2020
.
"There is zero growth in pesticides, but the reduction must also increase efficiency
.
" Huang Qiuyun said
.
The current excessive use of pesticides in agricultural production is mainly due to incorrect application methods and large amounts of pesticides are wasted
.
To this end, it is necessary to focus on "reducing the amount and increasing efficiency" and change the method of application
.
According to Huang Qiuyun, judging from the actual situation in our province, the unscientific application methods are prominently manifested as inaccurate control timing and drug selection, backward application tools, and serious leakage.

.
To this end, since this year, our province has focused on unified prevention and control, improved scientific prevention and control, strengthened monitoring of disease and insect resistance, guided service organizations and farmers in precise application of pesticides, vigorously carried out green prevention and control, and promoted large and medium-sized high-efficiency medical equipment
.
Take the drone as an example.
According to Zhang Yan, it can save water by 90% and medicine by more than 30%
.
"Generally, sprayer sprays medicines and drips into the ground, causing pollution
.
However, drones atomize pesticides and suspend them on the leaves, which greatly improves the utilization rate
.
" Zhang Yan said
.
This year, the province will promote 260 new high-efficiency plant protection mechanical self-propelled boom sprayers, 306 plant protection drones, and 350 thermal fog machines
.
"Finding a professional team to play is indeed better than doing it yourself, and the effect is better
.
" Liu Chaogang, a pear grower in Dangshan County, told reporters
.
This year, Dangshan County's Sanlian Disease and Insect Pest Control Professional Team carried out a large area of ​​unified prevention and control services
.
"From the actual effect, the use of chemical pesticides was reduced by 33.
3%, and the high-quality fruit rate increased by 10% compared with the self-defense zone
.
" said the person in charge of Sanlian
.
At present, there are 10,441 specialized unified defense and governance organizations in the province
.
Wang Xueliang, director of the Plant Protection Center of Dangshan County, introduced that this year, the high-quality fruit rate of the Dangshan Su pears in the demonstration zone for unified prevention and control was over 95%, while the self-defense control zone was only about 85%; the price of the demonstration zone was 2.
80 yuan/kg, and the control zone averaged 1.
80 yuan/kg.
; The demonstration area adopts self-propelled plant protection mechanical spraying, the pesticide usage is reduced by 33.
3%, and the comprehensive net income per mu is 4175 yuan higher than that of the self-defense area
.
According to statistics from the Provincial Plant Protection Station, the amount of pesticides used in the province this year is about 13,300 tons, which is 1,200 tons less than last year
.
"Replace a large self-propelled machine, and receive a purchase subsidy of more than 100,000 yuan
.
" The ruling power of unified defense is still weak, the promotion of green prevention and control technology is slow, and farmers’ awareness of scientific drug use needs to be improved.
"The decline in drug use indicates measures.
On the right path, but there are also many objective reasons, causing the pressure to reduce the amount of pesticides.

.
According to analysis by Zhang Qiyong, a senior technician at the Provincial Plant Protection General Station, the flooding this summer has led to a decline in the rice planting area in our province.
At the same time, the occurrence of rice diseases and insect pests is also moderate to light, which reduces the amount of pesticides to a certain extent
.
Compared with the 2020 target requirements, the current unified prevention and control The strength is still weak, the promotion of green prevention and control technologies is slow, and it is not overnight to change the peasants’ medication habits formed over the years
.
On November 14, the reporter came to the Shaojin Mechanic Defense Cooperative in Fengtai Town, Fengtai County.
The person in charge Sheng Shaojin told the reporter that with The prevention and control requirements have increased, and the existing machinery can no longer keep up with the needs
.
The reporter saw that dozens of old-fashioned shoulder sprayers were neatly placed in the lobby of the cooperative, some of which had been rusted and obviously had not been used for a long time
.
The efficiency is low, and it is tiring, and the rural labor force is insufficient, and it is about to be eliminated
.
"Sheng Shaojin said
.
Why not buy more advanced machinery? "To replace a large self-propelled machine, it will cost more than 100,000 yuan to deduct the purchase subsidy
.
"Sheng Shaojin said that the scope of cooperative operations is limited, and if the investment is too large, the cost will be difficult to recover
.
"The promotion of new and efficient operation machinery is an important equipment basis for achieving "zero growth" of pesticides, but now the scale of professional service agencies is relatively small and funds are limited.
Slow device update
.
"Zhang Qiyong told reporters
.
Service agencies are the main implementers of unified defense rule.
Due to the lack of good machinery, they can hardly increase the scope and level of services, which limits the large-scale implementation of unified defense rule and the promotion of green prevention and control technologies
