Smart agriculture accelerates industrial integration and boosts new vitality in the economy

These days, workers are busy pruning and pulling branches in the 1200 acre standardized apple cultivation demonstration park of Tangyi Town, the 51st Regiment of the Third Division of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps.

The standardized cultivation demonstration garden for apples is equipped with a set of soil sensors, soil acid and alkali testers, etc. every 200 acres. Management personnel can use a mobile phone to conduct on-site measurements, take photos, and upload them to the intelligent management system in the background, quickly providing the next stage of water and fertilizer management prompts. After one click opening, the field began to drip and fertilize, which also opened the eyes of local farmers.

I think this orchard is particularly good, different from other orchards, very powerful, very modern, and I can learn a lot of techniques here.

This standardized apple cultivation demonstration park is managed by a company named Tumushuke, and is led by a modern smart agriculture demonstration through a cooperative operation model of “group enterprise joint investment, enterprise operation, and investment return”.

The comprehensive application of dwarf dense planting cultivation technology, efficient water-saving irrigation technology with integrated water and fertilizer, vertical grid cultivation technology, and orchard full mechanization management technology not only saves costs but also maximizes land efficiency, helping to create a modern ecological sightseeing demonstration park.

The introduction of a forest and orchard intelligent management system is equivalent to the role of an agricultural expert, providing us with agricultural advice, from management to planting can be achieved on the system, “said Liu Hongqing, the company’s planting engineer.

The application of new technologies enables orchard management to save water, fertilizer, labor, and land, as well as early fruiting and income. It can attract 40 nearby employees from the company, with an average household income of 40000 yuan.

At the 14th Company of Tangyi Town in the 51st Regiment, the construction of the 10000 acre smart agricultural industrial park project is accelerating. Workers are busy installing steel framework, and the ground hardening is advancing simultaneously. On the vast Gobi Desert, modern facility greenhouses are rising one after another.

The project leader Guo Wei introduced that the project is divided into three phases with a total investment of 2.55 billion yuan. Currently, the first phase of construction includes 115 main greenhouses, water storage exhibition halls, planting demonstration areas, etc. The construction will start on April 26th and the skeleton installation is expected to be completed by September 20th, striving to launch the first batch of fruit and vegetable products this winter.

It is understood that this is a collaborative project between Tangyi Town, Group 51 and a company in Beijing, covering an area of 10000 acres. It aims to create a modern smart agricultural industrial park that integrates scientific research, incubation, demonstration, training, promotion, exhibition, leisure, and service.

After the 10000 acre smart agricultural industrial park project is put into operation, it can provide 2200 job positions. Through the “enterprise driven – farmer contracting – enterprise bottom-up” model, it can drive people to increase income and become rich, fully leverage the advantages of enterprises in information technology, further improve the level of agricultural production intelligence and automation, and increase industrial carrying capacity and added value.
