Digitally empowering smart agriculture to promote industrial improvement and efficiency

Smart agriculture “is an agricultural production method that integrates Internet, cloud computing, and Internet of Things technology. It is combined with scientific management systems to achieve intelligent, standardized, efficient, and green development of agriculture.

In Xichong County, many agricultural enterprises are actively exploring and practicing intelligent production, applying intelligent equipment and information technology to agricultural production, and continuously promoting modernization of agricultural production.

In the Smart Agriculture Demonstration Zone of Nanchong National Agricultural Science and Technology Park, located in Dianzishan Village, Yixing Town, Xichong County, vegetable greenhouses are connected one by one, and the newly sprouted shoots are fresh and green, making people happy. The park adopts the “five major” technologies to achieve multidimensional visualization, big data fusion, and the integration of agricultural IoT, as well as remote diagnosis and control of agricultural visualization.

In the main control room of the park, Tan Song, the person in charge of the base, opened the monitoring screen and was able to have a live view of the crop growth. We grow organic vegetables here, which are particularly picky about the growth environment and require excellent soil, water sources, air, fertilizers, etc. “Tan Song said. The online monitoring facilities and soil sensors in the greenhouse can automatically monitor the temperature, air quality, water quality, humidity, and soil pH value of the park 24/7. These data are automatically transmitted to the main control center. Once the indicators exceed the standard, the system will immediately alarm and automatically generate a solution. Watering, fertilizing, and other operations can be carried out through a mouse or mobile phone.

The park can achieve full mechanization from farmland, sowing to harvesting. Mechanical harvesting, threshing, and straw crushing processes are completed in one go, and rice straw is crushed and returned to the field, which can be used as fertilizer for the next crop. “Zhao Jianping, Director of the Agriculture and Rural Bureau of Xichong County, introduced that in order to improve planting efficiency and solve the problem of high agricultural production costs, The county has built a smart agricultural machinery+comprehensive agricultural service complex in accordance with the work concept of “agricultural mechanization transformation, increase in agricultural machinery quality, and upgrade of socialized services”.

At the Smart Agricultural Machinery Service Center in Xichong County, located in Yangliuya Village, Qingshi Town, a “little bee” constantly circles green on the management platform screen. From the outer circle to the inner circle, a whole piece of “land” quickly turns green. Li Pengfei, the head of the Agricultural Mechanization Promotion Station of the Agriculture and Rural Bureau of Xichong County, introduced that the “little bee” is an agricultural machine working in the field. All large agricultural machines managed by the platform are equipped with Beidou navigation intelligent terminals, and the working trajectory is clearly displayed on the large screen.
