Chinese authorities have decided to use drones to fight worms and worms which destroy crops across the country.

The agricultural sector has suffered badly from many types of insects over the recent weeks.

XAG, a Chinese and Bayer, a German company had developed a drone able to fight the agricultural insects.

Percentage of success of the new technology is more than 98%.

Fighting the agricultural pests concentrates on Spodoptera frugiperda which devours leaves of maize.

The adult insect could cover 100 km a day.

Chinese official say that this pest threatens 80% of the crops every year.

A preventative of the Chinese company said that fighting pests  are caries out at night when the insects get more active.

It is worth to mention that Bloomberg, a business agency warned in June that spreading of Spodoptera frugiperda could lead to bankruptcy of the farmers.

That insect destroys 200 food and money crops such as rice, maize, vegetables, cotton, soya bean and sugar cane.

Farmers in Africa alone lost at least $ 13.3 billion.

Experts warn that the insect could transfer to Europe, Australia and the south east of Asia.

The best drone that you can get right now is the DJI Mavic 2 Pro. Aside from the very similar Mavic 2 Zoom, no other drone on the market offers a better mix of performance and portability. Despite being highly compact and easy to throw in a backpack, the Mavic 2 Pro boasts some of the best specs and features in the biz — including a Hasselblad camera, omni-directional obstacle avoidance, and a flurry of automated flight modes. If you’re looking for a go-anywhere, film-anything drone that you can fit inside a backpack, then look no further.

That said, while DJI’s flagship is the best drone for most people, it’s certainly not the best drone for everyone — so we highly recommend checking out some of the other options on this list. No matter if you’re a pro filmmaker, an aspiring drone racer, or are just looking for a fun gift for you kid, you’ll find what you’re looking for below.
