[March 11, 2026 News] Focusing on agricultural “new productive forces” in the 2026 Central No.1 Document, AI and intelligent equipment have boomed in agriculture. The intelligent transformation of plant protection spraying is particularly obvious. Traditional manual spraying is being replaced by efficient, precise and eco-friendly intelligent equipment, reducing farmers’ labor intensity and promoting green, large-scale and precise agricultural production.
Intelligent Spraying Becomes Mainstream, Multi-Scenario Adaptation Solves Plant Protection Pain Points
Manual spraying has long had drawbacks: low efficiency, heavy pesticide waste, uneven spraying and safety risks, especially in large-scale bases and hilly areas. Since 2026, breakthroughs in plant protection machinery have brought full-scenario intelligent solutions (orchard, farmland, vegetable spraying), changing the traditional plant protection model.
In orchards, lidar-equipped intelligent spraying UAVs fly along terrain, avoiding branches and spraying pesticides evenly on leaves (20-micron droplets). They are over 3 times more efficient than manual spraying, with 25% higher pesticide utilization [4]. In plain farmland, Beidou/GPS-equipped self-propelled sprayers adjust pesticide dosage automatically, covering 800-1000 mu daily (equal to 60 workers) [4]. In greenhouses, special mist sprayers with disinfection functions prevent pests and avoid pesticide residues.
Policy + Technology Dual Drive, Accelerated Popularization of Intelligent Plant Protection Equipment
The 2026 Central No.1 Document supports intelligent agriculture and intelligent plant protection [5]. Agricultural machinery subsidies cover intelligent spraying equipment and UAVs; updating UAVs can get a 50% subsidy increase, reducing purchase costs for farmers and bases [4].
Technically, plant protection machinery is becoming more intelligent and green. Mainstream intelligent spraying equipment has “perception-decision-execution” control; AI variable spraying reduces pesticide waste by over 30% [4]. New energy models (electric, hydrogen-powered) cut costs by 30% and carbon emissions by over 40% [4]. IoT enables real-time equipment monitoring and fault early warning for efficient maintenance [4].
Precision Spraying + Disinfection & Sterilization, Empowering High-Quality Agricultural Development
With growing demand for green agriculture, intelligent spraying equipment solves efficiency issues and achieves “precision application and green prevention”. It kills pests effectively, reduces pesticide pollution to soil and water, aligning with carbon sink-driven green agriculture [3].
Intelligent equipment offers customized operations for different crops: orchard spraying focuses on penetration and uniformity; farmland spraying on scale and efficiency; vegetable spraying on low residues and safety; disinfection works for greenhouses and warehouses to prevent pests.
