Recently, aerial spraying using drones has been gaining attention as an effective means of reducing labor and ensuring timely pest and disease control, with growing interest among farmers.
The training focused on practical content for subsidized project participants and interested farmers supported by the county, including ▲ safe use and management of drones ▲ the reporting system for aerial spraying businesses, and ▲ legal regulations related to the operation and reporting of aerial spraying businesses.
In particular, it was emphasized that when using drones for pest and disease control on crops, participants must complete prior aerial spraying technology training and report as an aerial spraying business to the National Agricultural Products Quality Management Service.
Park Cheolsu, head of the Technology Supply Division, said, "Through this training, we hope to enhance the safety and efficiency of drone-based pest control and provide an opportunity to protect crops from pests and diseases more safely. We will continue to focus on disseminating technology and educating farmers for the safe production of agricultural products."
