Application Study of Drone Spraying Technology in the Control of Soybean Pod Borer
Abstract：The soybean pod borer is an important pest that restricts soybean production, characterized by overlapping generations, hidden feeding habits, and strong outbreak potential, making field control difficult. With the development of agricultural mechanization and intelligence, drone crop protection technology has gradually become a new method for controlling soybean pests, due to its advantages such as low-altitude flight, precise spraying, efficient operation, and strong adaptability. Based on this, the occurrence patterns and damage characteristics of the soybean pod borer were first analyzed, followed by an elaboration of the components of the drone operation system, including the flight platform, spraying system, and navigation control module. The impact of operation parameters such as spray width, droplet size, flight height, and flight speed on control effectiveness was discussed in detail. On this basis, a differentiated precision spraying model based on pest density was proposed, which involves adjusting the amount of pesticide and operation parameters reasonably through monitoring pest conditions to achieve the goals of reducing pesticide use, increasing efficiency, and green control. The study shows that drone crop protection technology not only improves control efficiency but also provides technical support for the sustainable development of soybean production.
