Smart Agriculture “Brings Traditional Farming onto the Fast Track

Science and technology are the fundamental driving force for promoting agricultural and rural modernization. In recent years, Zepu County has taken the path of high-quality development to promote agricultural quality and efficiency, accelerate the development of smart agriculture, vigorously promote the application of large-scale intelligent agricultural machinery, and vigorously implement efficient water-saving irrigation projects. With more and more intelligent equipment being applied to agricultural production, gradually realizing the transition from mechanization to unmanned, liberating farmers from heavy physical labor, Greatly improved labor productivity, resource utilization rate, and land output rate, and greatly improved agricultural production efficiency. At the same time, the “plow of technology” is gradually changing the production methods of farmers, continuously improving the comprehensive efficiency and competitiveness of agriculture, promoting the high-quality development of agricultural production towards precision, efficiency, and greenery, achieving employment and income growth, increasing ways to become rich, and assisting in the revitalization of rural industries.

The reporter walked into the wheat field in Yujimai Aizhike Village, Boerskamu Township and saw golden wheat ears dancing lightly in the wind. During the interview, Pattiman Abdullah from this village told reporters that since the switch to drip irrigation, simply setting the formula and mode can easily complete the watering and fertilization of wheat. Now that the wheat is about to mature, a bumper harvest is in sight.

Previously, watering the land was flooded with water and required people to take turns guarding it. Now, it’s different. The wheat field has been covered with drip irrigation strips, which can be watered in an hour or so. The drip irrigation strips not only save water, but also make people worry free! “Patiman Abdullah said happily.

In recent years, Zepu County has continuously improved the level of scientific and technological empowerment of Mechanised agriculture, changed the traditional farming mode, and extended mechanized operations from the ground to the air. As a new product of modern agriculture in the promotion and development of mechanization, the plant protection UAV has the advantages of labor saving, time saving, drug saving, low cost, uniform atomization of liquid medicine, and convenient operation. The average daily operation area can reach more than 350 mu, and the efficiency is 40 times that of manual work.

Plant protection drones have the characteristics of fast speed, high efficiency, low cost, uniform spraying, good atomization effect, safety and environmental protection. By using drones, the original workload of a few days can be completed in just a few hours, which not only helps farmers reduce labor costs and pesticide use, but also improves the prevention and control effect. “Introduction by good seed farm cadre Alimujiang Wusman.

In recent years, Zepu County has continuously improved the development level of Mechanised agriculture technology empowerment, changed the traditional farming mode, extended mechanized operations from the ground to the air, and adopted the operating mechanism of “cooperatives+farmers” to strengthen agricultural technology promotion and expand technical services. At present, there are a total of 50 plant protection drones and 169 satellite navigation intelligent agricultural equipment installed in the county, with a drone operating area of 252000 acres. Nowadays, smart agriculture in Zepu County is developing rapidly, and the comprehensive level of agricultural mechanization has significantly improved. The comprehensive mechanization level of major bulk crops has reached over 93.8%. Satellite navigation has been widely used in Mechanised agriculture operations such as automatic driving, land preparation, sowing, pesticide spraying, harvesting, etc. UAV plant protection operations have covered dozens of crops such as wheat, cotton, corn, walnut, jujube, etc.

“With the rapid development of the Internet of Things, Big data, and artificial intelligence technology, we have adopted the operating mechanism of ‘cooperatives+farmers’ to strengthen agricultural technology promotion and expand technical services. We plan to establish a UAV Association, covering 34 business entities, 50 UAVs, and 252000 mu of drone operation area. We will continue to improve the development level of Mechanised agriculture technology empowerment, change the traditional farming methods, and extend mechanized operations from the ground Reach into the air Zhang Xinzhi, Director of the Agriculture and Rural Bureau of Zepu County, said.
