In Changji Hui Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, farmers are using Beidou-guided drones to fertilize over 85,000 hectares of winter wheat. Taking advantage of warm weather and moist soil, these drones apply fertilizer and fungicide in one pass, covering up to 67 hectares daily. This efficient method prevents crop damage, reduces waste and promotes early growth, ensuring a strong summer harvest.
