“the past 10 people have been busy with irrigation fertilizing for days, and now only one person is required to click a few times in front of the computer, and the instructions are executed immediately and the care is taken.” on 23 september, von quin, head of the shilin hongqun agricultural development company ltd., introduced the journalists to the smart management platform on the computer screen at the yinai village, west corner of shilin county. Data on the temperature, soil nutrients, etc., that jumps on the screen are mapping out in real time the "growth state" of this highland orchard。
The base has moved away from the traditional "food by heaven" farm model and has been upgraded to an integrated real-time monitoring, intelligence analysis and precision-executed intelligent agriculture system. In the fields, traditional irrigation canals are not visible and are replaced by black pipes buried under the fruit tree membranes, with a thin drip every few metres; weather monitoring equipment on the ground is like “sentry”, carrying multi-type sensors working 24 hours a day, both to capture in real time climate data such as temperature, wind, solar radiation intensity, and to accurately detect indicators such as soil moisture, nutrient content, which are transmitted simultaneously through product-networking technologies to intelligent agricultural management platforms, creating dynamically updated “growth files”。
“the rise and fall of the west side, the poor capacity of the zone to protect water from fertilisation, and the previously `one-size-fits-all' irrigation fertilisation practices are both wasteful and ineffective.” von kun explained. Now, depending on the accuracy of data monitored by the platform, the underground drip irrigation system can be “strengthed”-- • when soil moisture is below the established threshold, the system automatically initiates irrigation and water flows directly to the root of the crop, avoiding evaporation and waste of water; within the automatic ratio, smart equipment is based on soil nutrient data from different plots, adjusting fertilizers such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium to precise proportions, and then transmitting them through the pipeline system to each of the cucumbers. This “demand-based supply” model completely breaks the limits of empirical water fertilization in traditional cultivation。
The integration of smart technology is reshaping the logic of human participation in fruit growing. The introduction of smart management platforms has resulted in a significant increase in the utilization of water for ginseng ginseng irrigation at the junction of shilling west street, with a direct reduction of more than 90 per cent in human costs; and, more crucially, the upgrading of the quality of fruit, with more even and stable levels of human ginseng and sweetness through precision control of the growth environment, and a sustained improvement in the rate of quality fruit compared to traditional cultivation. This is highly compatible with the need to promote high-quality development of the people-ginning industry in the shilling county, which has succeeded in breaking down industrial challenges such as the unequal quality and high cost of technology。
It is known that the base's smart agricultural management platform was developed by a joint professional body of the land farming and rural administration of shilling county, which integrates a variety of functions such as monitoring of the network of goods, precision irrigation, intelligent fertilizer, etc., and achieves full-process digital control from environmental monitoring to water fertilizer management. Currently, the pilot site has achieved full irrigation coverage, and its successful experience is providing a “scientific model” for the construction of the quartiles' rinsing industry。
From "empirical drive" to "data drive", from "looking at the sky eating" to "knowing the heaven," from "screech management" to "accurate control," smart technology is producing results on the land of west crossing。
