在测试中,无人机将杀虫剂使用量削减60%,但严格的规则限制在加拿大的农场使用。 Drones cut pesticide use by 60% in tests, but strict rules limit their farm use in Canada.

Dalhousie大学的研究人员正在对无人驾驶飞机进行精确杀虫剂和化肥应用测试,表明有可能将化学用量减少60%,并防止土壤压实损害野生蓝莓等作物。 Researchers at Dalhousie University are testing drones for precision pesticide and fertilizer application, showing potential to reduce chemical use by up to 60% and prevent soil compaction that damages crops like wild blueberries. 虽然早期结果显示无人驾驶飞机与传统方法一样有效,但加拿大的普遍采用受到严格管制的限制:目前只有7种农药被核准用于无人驾驶飞机,主要用于工业目的,操作者必须持有多种证书。 While early results indicate drones can be as effective as traditional methods, widespread adoption in Canada is limited by strict regulations: only seven pesticides are currently approved for drone use, mostly for industrial purposes, and operators must hold multiple certifications. 研究人员正在收集喷雾漂移等环境风险数据,以支持未来的监管变化,同时利用无人驾驶飞机制作详细的实地地图,帮助作出农业决策,而不会取代农民的专门知识。 Researchers are collecting data on environmental risks like spray drift to support future regulatory changes, while also using drones to create detailed field maps that aid farming decisions without replacing farmer expertise.
