Abstract:
      The application of a foliar inhibitor and control agent via plant protection unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs) conducive to improving spraying uniformity, reducing labor cost, and improving operation efficiency. To improve the field operation specification of plant protection UAVs and ensure the technical parameters of the operation, the study investigated the large DaJiang T16 plant protection UAV, and studied the optimal operation parameters for plant protection UAVs to produce cadmium reducing effects in rice by spraying zinc-manganese leaf inhibitor. Results highlighted that the optimal operation parameters were spraying foliar inhibitor mixed with water at a percentage of 12%, with a total nozzle flow rate of 3.6 L·min-1, a flight altitude of 3 m, and speed of 5 m·s-1, respectively. Moreover, results showed that the Cd reduction rates of brown rice, Huanghuazhan and Xiangwanxian 13, in the spraying area were significantly decearsed by 52.7% and 62.1%, respectively, in the second year when the foliar inhibitor spraying was performed under optimal working parameters.
