Seven Star Pass: “Smart Agriculture” Promotes Modernization of Agricultural Industry

In recent years, Qixingguan District has actively implemented the innovation driven development strategy, led the agricultural supply side structural reform with scientific and technological innovation, promoted the construction of modern agricultural industrial parks, created a number of agricultural brands with regional characteristics, and embarked on a road of transformation from traditional agriculture to high-quality, efficient, and high-yield modern agriculture, driving people to increase income and become rich, and helping rural revitalization.

Recently, in the greenhouse base located in the second district of the Smart Greenhouse in Baiyanglin Street, the fruit cucumbers in the greenhouse have reached their peak production period, and rows of elevated vegetables are spreading green branches and leaves, showcasing a new scene of modern agricultural development, emitting vitality. At the same time, the breeding of industrial chili peppers is also in full swing.

Our smart greenhouse greenhouse only requires one computer to control the normal operation of the entire greenhouse, greatly improving agricultural production efficiency. “The person in charge of the base, Wang Chengju, introduced that the smart greenhouse greenhouse uses advanced production technology and equipment, and all work except for crop planting and harvesting is completed by computer control. The temperature, humidity, light, carbon dioxide concentration, etc. in the shed can be intelligently adjusted through advanced technologies such as “integrated environmental automatic control system”, “integrated water and fertilizer automatic control system” and “automatic light supplement system”, and the growth status of each crop can be monitored in real time, and the optimal growth environment and nutrition requirements can be adjusted according to different varieties, so as to achieve all-weather and seasonal production.

In addition, the base is also equipped with warehousing, logistics chain, and labor-saving equipment systems such as picking trucks, elevating Railroad speeder, and transportation trucks, which truly realizes the agricultural production system integrating production, processing, sorting, packaging, warehousing, and logistics, reduces time costs, and improves work efficiency.

Currently, the main crops are fruit cucumbers and industrial chili peppers for seedling cultivation. “Wang Chengju introduced that the greenhouse covers an area of 46000 square meters, with nearly 30 people working in the base for a long time. The greenhouse adopts soilless cultivation, and the coconut bran is crushed into a substrate, which can maintain water and fertilizer, improve crop quality, and have a short growth cycle, long harvesting time, and high yield. At present, fruit cucumbers in the base are harvested from 3000 to 4000 kilograms per day, mainly sold to cities such as Chengdu and Guangdong. Industrial chili pepper seedlings are mainly sold to places such as Dafang and Yunnan.

The high-tech greenhouse saves time and effort, making it much easier than working in the open air. “Shi Hongqiong has been working at the base for more than three years.” Working here is not only easy, with guaranteed wages, but also learning modern agricultural management experience and planting techniques

In recent years, Qixingguan District has adhered to the overall situation of high-quality development, centered on the goal of increasing agricultural efficiency, farmers’ income, and rural greening, based on the local market, made every effort to cultivate a number of large bases, industries, enterprises, and brands, and built a smart agricultural demonstration park characterized by the combination of leisure picking and sightseeing and modernization of agricultural industry, solidly promoted the construction of agricultural modernization system, and comprehensively improved the comprehensive efficiency and competitiveness of agriculture.
