In Yongquan, Taizhou, a tangerine grower, looking at his orchard, expressed the sentiments of many: "Your product is so good, it helps our tangerines sell for so much more money. We need to let more people know about it!"
This simple, heartfelt statement reflects the most basic wish of countless farmers: to use good technology to grow good fruit and sell it for a good price.
And this wish found its most genuine response in Mr. Feng's orchard. His orchard is not ordinary farmland, but a demonstration base in Yongquan for the Zhejiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the Zhejiang Citrus Research Institute. Here, every fruit tree carries the dual expectations of scientific research and the market.
In the past, accurately and efficiently controlling pests and diseases was also a challenge in this demonstration garden.
"Experienced pest and disease specialists were hard to find, and the results were inconsistent; black spot disease and sand-like disease were common."
Mr. Feng frankly admitted, "It wasn't until I used the EAVISION drone that I found a worry-free and effective solution."
Technological empowerment: Why can EAVISION overcome the pain points of aerial spraying for citrus?
The key to citrus disease control lies in whether the pesticide can be evenly and sufficiently covered on the undersides of leaves, branches, and fruit surfaces. Traditional spraying methods are limited by manual labor and often have blind spots in coverage.
-
CCMS Mist Spraying System: Regardless of changes in flight speed or pesticide flow rate, the system can output an extremely stable and uniform droplet spectrum. This ensures that droplets adhere evenly to the leaf surface and undersides, avoiding rolling, drifting, or insufficient coverage due to droplets that are too large or too small, providing reliable protection at the source.
-
Enhanced Airflow: Through optimized wind field design, the downdraft generated by the EAvision drone effectively opens up the canopy, delivering fine droplets directly to the lower and middle leaves and the undersides of the fruit, completely solving the industry problem of traditional spraying's "incomplete penetration" and poor deposition on the undersides of leaves. This is precisely the key to effectively controlling diseases such as black spot and scab.
-
Intelligent Terrain-following Obstacle Avoidance and Precise Spraying: In the hilly terrain of Yongquan, the drone can maintain stable, ultra-low-altitude, terrain-following flight throughout the entire process. Combined with an omnidirectional obstacle avoidance system, it sprays close to the tree canopy, greatly reducing chemical waste and ensuring that every droplet reaches its intended target.
"Now it’s really worry-free," said Mr. Feng. "I don’t even need an experienced pilot; someone who’s only been learning for a few months can fly it, and the results are great. It can even reach the very bottom of the tree, making the tangerines exceptionally smooth and beautiful!" The change is visible to the naked eye. His tangerines have become smooth-skinned, golden in color, and full of sugar, becoming a sought-after commodity for fruit merchants year after year. "They fetch a much higher price than the average-quality fruit in the surrounding area!"
The stable and outstanding operational results at the demonstration base attracted the attention of agricultural scientists. Lu Lianming, director of the Comprehensive Experimental Station of the Zhejiang Provincial Citrus Research Institute, affirmed the effectiveness of the drone spraying from a professional perspective after on-site inspection: "The EAVISION drone spraying is truly excellent! The atomization is uniform, the penetration is strong, and the deposition effect on both the upper and lower surfaces of leaves is good. This is crucial for ensuring the effectiveness of citrus pest and disease control and improving fruit quality."
On one side is a grower grounded in the realities of the orchard, speaking through results.
On the other is a scientist whose evaluation comes from deep technical expertise. Their consensus points to a clear conclusion: the future of agriculture must rely on stable and reliable technology, not irreplaceable personal experience.
Today, choosing EAVISION is not just choosing a drone, but also the confidence that "even beginners can achieve master-level results." It simplifies complex aerial spraying of fruit trees, making every takeoff a guarantee of both quality and yield.
