Qufu Smart Agriculture Plays “Spring Tillage Song” in the Field

On March 26, in the field of Wangzhuang Town, Qufu City, digital and intelligent agricultural machinery and equipment such as unmanned aerial vehicles, spray bar self-propelled spray, sprinkler irrigation and other modern scientific and technological means “showed their talents” in the spring plowing and spring pipe, and the field presented a new picture of spring plowing.

In Yue Village, Wangzhuang Town, Yue Jianhua, a plant protection drone pilot, is using drones to spray and fertilize the wheat field. Under his control, drones turn back and forth over the wheat field. Unlike traditional fertilization methods, which are time-consuming and laborious, a drone can spray over 1000 acres of land a day. Not only has fertilization efficiency and precision been improved, but also labor costs for spring plowing and spring management have been greatly reduced, resulting in reduced damage to crops, reduced environmental pollution caused by pesticides, improved agricultural disease and insect control effects, and improved crop growth and product quality.

“We use drones to fertilize, spraying 100 kg of foliage fertilizer at a time, 15 kg per mu, and spraying 100 mu per hour. This not only saves labor, time, and effort, but also is accurate and uniform,” said agricultural mechanic Yue Jianhua.

Smart agriculture is connected to technology at one end and agriculture at the other. From “physical strength” to “intelligence”, from “relying on experience” to “relying on data”, in recent years, Qufu City has achieved “cloud management” in traditional agriculture through the construction of an intelligent Internet of Things system, vigorously popularizing accurate, dynamic, scientific, comprehensive, and all-factor digital monitoring in agricultural production, reducing labor intensity, saving investment costs such as water, fertilizer, and medicine, and improving production efficiency, crop yield, and quality; Improve the equipment level of “smart agriculture”, provide supporting services for the entire process of mechanization, and promote the integration of agricultural production mechanization and informatization, which not only saves labor, but also increases revenue.

Nowadays, under the policy guidance of comprehensively implementing the rural revitalization strategy, Qufu’s agricultural development is changing rapidly, resulting in a large number of intelligent agricultural industries. In Ruyuan Town, Xizou Town, intelligent agriculture can keep abreast of crop growth with mobile phones, remotely control watering and fertilizing with a few clicks, and know the flow of agricultural products at a glance on the screen; The Runqiang Agricultural Modernization Industrial Park in Fangshan Town, Qufu City adopts a new model of “fish and vegetable symbiosis and three-dimensional cultivation”, allowing traditional aquaculture and soilless cultivation techniques to achieve perfect “hand in hand”; The Kiwifruit Industrial Park in Yizhangqu Village, Xizou Town uses high-tech means to accurately analyze and monitor the planting of kiwifruit, achieving integrated and intelligent management… Each industrial park has been inserted with the wings of “wisdom” and is spreading its wings.
