With the development of pesticide substitution technology, ozonated water has been gradually applied in agricultural plant protection. This paper describes our development of an ecological plant protection unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that can produce and spray ozonated water while flying. Firstly, this paper carries out the design of the ozonated water system, including the selection of the ozone generator and the gas-liquid mixing method. Secondly, the conceptual design method of the ecological plant protection UAV is introduced, including total weight estimation, propulsion system selection, layout and structure design, battery modeling, center of gravity evaluation, and control system. Then, static analysis was computed in ANSYS Workbench on the UAV fuselage. Finally, the field test verified that the hovering time of the UAV could reach the design requirement of 10 min when it was fully loaded. The effective spraying width (with a height of 2 m and a speed of 3 m/s) is 5.25 m. The UAV was used to spray ozonated water with a concentration of 17 ppm continuously once a day; on day 7, the control effect could reach 76.4% and the reduction rate of the larvae population was 59.3%. Therefore, spraying ozonated water with a concentration of 17 ppm every day by using the ecological plant protection UAV can effectively control broccoli diamondback moth larvae and achieve the control effect of traditional pesticides (Chlorantraniliprole SC).
