The Health of Rice Fields, We Guard | Tornado Intelligent Wins the National Day Farmland Defense Battle

“White Dew early, Cold Dew late, Autumn Equinox is just right for wheat planting”

This is precisely the busy season of autumn harvest, autumn plowing, and autumn sowing—the “Three Autumns.” Northern China has already begun sowing winter wheat, while the Yangtze River basin and vast southern regions are busy harvesting late rice, seizing sunny days to plow and turn the soil, preparing for rapeseed sowing.

After the Autumn Equinox, the next round of cultivation officially begins. China’s autumn plowing culture is profound; the Confucian classic “Zhou Li” records, “Spring plowing, autumn weeding, to nourish human life.” The cycle of farming is both a natural law and part of China’s brilliant agricultural civilization.

Tornado Intelligent collaborates with Suzhou Yao Hong Family Farm to launch the autumn plowing farmland defense battle. Autumn plowing is not merely about burying a seed in the soil; this is not the entirety of agricultural production. Before and after sowing, farmers invest substantial labor for the future harvest this seed will bring. “Spring plants one grain of millet, autumn harvests ten thousand seeds” is not an empty phrase, but those ten thousand seeds are equally hard-won. Fertilizing the farmland after autumn harvest, plowing after fertilization, sowing, top-dressing, and pesticide application during crop growth—all these are closely related to Tornado Intelligent. The B70 plant protection drone assists farmers in autumn plowing, accomplishing the trilogy of fertilization, top-dressing, and pesticide application.

On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Tornado Intelligent’s pilots received a fertilizer spreading task. Although the National Day holiday was approaching, everyone still actively and enthusiastically participated in the task. This fertilizer spreading mission involved going to Suzhou, Jiangsu, to conduct top-dressing operations for the Yao Hong Family Farm.

Considering the farm’s large fertilization area and the substantial per-mu usage required for top-dressing, the pilots selected Tornado Intelligent’s new plant protection drone B70 for this field operation. The B70 drone features a super-large material bucket facilitating pilots’ rapid fertilizer loading during operations, and the 70L large bucket can easily carry 80 jin (40 kg) of fertilizer at once—a great helper for large-acre operations.

Simultaneously, considering per-mu usage requirements during large-acre operations, Tornado Intelligent made comprehensive upgrades on the B70: fertilizer spreading range is larger and wider because we removed the angle limiting device below the spreader. Based on folding arms different from peers, folding down increases the fuselage height, creating a higher vertical height difference between the propeller blades and the spreader below. This makes spread material less likely to hit the propeller blades while also ensuring spreading width becomes wider, spreading efficiency higher, accelerating operation progress, and reducing farmers’ burden during busy seasons. This not only strengthens human-machine collaboration but also ensures mechanized production tasks are implemented.

This was not merely a simple assistance to farmers’ busy-season top-dressing operation. The pilots’ active and enthusiastic participation in this operation during the National Day holiday further reflects our Tornado Intelligent colleagues’ enthusiastic work attitude, not only in daily operations but also integrated into life’s details.

This year, we have been conducting practical testing, including fertilizer spreading, spraying, and continuous improvements and upgrades. This is a continuously cycling process. Every field operation in high-temperature environments or rainy days provides valuable insights for product performance research and development. Each operator is equipped with a drone for continuous fertilizer spreading operations, conducting practical testing under various harsh conditions.

Our goal is to provide customers with a stable and durable drone that truly can meet actual field operation requirements. This was not merely a National Day farmland defense battle but also a practical exercise for our Tornado plant protection drones. Our purpose is to provide customers with a truly battle-tested, easy-to-use plant protection drone.
