Unmanned electric unit for treating farm crops with cold fog
Nowadays, for most agricultural enterprises, spraying efficiency is achieved through the use of precision farming systems, which involve the use of direction indicators, thrusters, hydraulic autopilots and other equipment provided for a specific operation in agriculture.The disadvantage of such devices is that they serve as trailed to the machine-tractor unit, which is associated with high operating costs, of which the most significant are the costs of fuel and lubricants and the maintenance of equipment. Taking into account the identified shortcomings, to solve this problem, it is proposed to use an unmanned electric unit capable of performing the assigned tasks by means of a hardware and software complex with a microprocessor control system. One of the most common liquid applications today is full-volume spraying. Its main disadvantage is high operating costs and soil contamination with drugs that drain from plants as a result of excessive wetting. For effective processing, it is proposed to apply liquid fertilizers and pesticides with an electrically charged cold fog by means of an unmanned electric unit with an automatic traffic control system using GPS / GLONASS navigation signals. All of this, taken together, will improve the energy and environmental performance of crop spraying.
