Technology Empowerment: Transforming Farmers from Skilled Farming to ‘Smart Farming’

Using drones for weeding and pesticide spraying, each drone can complete 240 acres of work per hour, and over 1900 acres can be completed in 8 hours a day, 32 times faster than manual work… “On May 2, the head of Chengrun Agriculture (Liaoning) Co., Ltd., Chou Zecheng, introduced the drone” Flying Hand “in Shaling Town, Taizihe District, Liaoyang City during technical training.

Rice seedling cultivation is nearing its end. Every morning at 4:30 am, Yang Jingshi, the head of the Hongmao Planting Family Farm in the functional rice town of Shaling Town, will arrive at his own rice seedling greenhouse on time to check the temperature, humidity, and condition of the seedlings. Scattering base fertilizer, contacting machine tillers, arranging the progress of transplanting… Taking advantage of the good weather, all the preparations before transplanting on the farm are being carried out in an orderly manner. The unmanned rice transplanting work in functional rice towns is about to begin one after another.

When the unmanned rice transplanter reaches the end of the rice field, it will automatically turn around and change rows, and the transplanter will also automatically lift and lower. Except for manual seedling delivery, all other operations are automatic. “Yang Jingshi introduced through a video demonstration at the training site,” The seedlings are planted very neatly, saving two workers over 600 yuan per day

In recent years, the Agricultural and Rural Bureau of Taizihe District has made great efforts to develop digital agriculture, putting digital technology into all aspects of crop cultivation, planting, management and collection, which has brought not only the innovation of agricultural production technology and the improvement of agricultural productivity, but also the change of agricultural management mode, and the quality, efficiency and competitiveness of regional agriculture have also been improved. Up to now, Taizihe District has 52 agricultural UAVs, with a total area of 100000 mu under the unified control of crops and 5000 mu under the application of digital agriculture.

In 2021, Liaoyang Water Conservancy Bureau will invest more than 2 million yuan to carry out the construction of digital agriculture project in the local Hongmao Planting Family Farm and Yixin Family Farm. Through the introduction of farmland high-definition map, RTK navigation network, agricultural Internet of Things equipment, full-automatic agricultural UAV and other technologies, it will gradually build a smart agricultural system in Taizihe District, and take the lead in realizing UAV fertilization and unmanned rice transplanter planting.

This year, the functional rice in the Taizihe District will achieve digital management of the entire growth process. By integrating various agricultural technologies such as Beidou satellite navigation, agricultural remote sensing, geographic information system, unmanned aerial vehicle multispectral, artificial intelligence, etc., digital means will be used to achieve production planning, management standardization, and operational accuracy; Reduce the use of fertilizers, pesticides, and other agricultural inputs, save labor, effectively reduce production costs, improve the quality of agricultural products in the entire region, form standardized production and brand management, and establish a replicable modern agricultural development model in the Taizihe region.
