Fuyang's stretcher-type high-pressure sprayers achieve remarkable results in controlling brown planthopper

This year is the most severe year for late rice brown planthopper infestation in Fuyang City in more than a decade. Doing a good job in controlling late rice brown planthopper concerns food production security, farmers' income growth and rural social stability. Government departments at all levels in Fuyang City attach great importance to this, truly treating the control of late rice brown planthopper as the top priority in current agriculture and rural work, and making concerted efforts to fight this battle against brown planthopper.

The Fuyang City Agricultural Machinery Extension Station introduced and promoted a new type of stretcher-type high-pressure sprayer that had once made great contributions to increasing the yield and income of Dongqiao Chinese torreya (Torreya grandis), and now it has once again rendered outstanding service in brown planthopper control. This type of high-pressure sprayer has advantages such as simple and nimble operation, easy portability, long spray range and good atomization effect, making it very suitable for large-scale spraying operations. When used with a 100 m hose, the operator only needs to stand on the field ridge to carry out the work, and both the application effect and work efficiency far surpass ordinary plant protection machinery.
