Zhangjiaqiao Bridge in Fucheng County: Full of Science and Technology in Spring Scenery

On March 31st, it was the busy season for spring plowing and irrigation. In the wheat field of the ecological recycling industrial park in Zhangjiaqiao Village, Cuijiamiao Town, Fucheng County, workers make full use of various mechanized facilities to seize the opportunity to fertilize and irrigate the farmland during farming. A “spring painting” full of technological flavor is being staged in the field.

With a “ready to take off” sound, an agricultural plant protection drone, loaded with fertilizer, flew straight into the air, arrived at the unfinished work site last time, and began to sprinkle fertilizer. “After setting the flight altitude, speed, range, etc., fertilizer can be sprinkled normally during takeoff. Now, this drone can complete about 150 acres of fertilizer per day, reducing the amount of fertilizer used compared to manual operations and saving a lot of costs.” said drone operator Zhang Wenliang.

After fertilizing with drones, irrigation is immediately required. Compared to traditional flood irrigation methods, the sprinkler irrigation machine can not only save water resources, but also save more than 80 yuan in labor costs per mu of wheat. “This is a 40 meter wide truss irrigation machine, which can save 50% water and labor. It can irrigate 2 acres of land in an hour, and can also be set to automatically alarm at the end of the field.” said Zhang Wensheng, an industrial park technician who stood beside the wheat field to check the fertilization and irrigation situation.

It is understood that the coverage rate of irrigation facilities such as intelligent sprinkling irrigation and mechanized sprinkling irrigation for 1000 mu of winter wheat in the industrial park has reached 90%, and more mechanized equipment such as drone spraying and fertilization, and unmanned intelligent seeders have been put into use, adding scientific and technological strength to rural revitalization.
