Technology is the fundamental driving force for promoting agricultural and rural modernization. In recent years, with the application of more and more intelligent instruments in agricultural production, agricultural production in Zepu County, Xinjiang has gradually shifted from mechanization to unmanned, freeing farmers from heavy physical labor, greatly improving labor productivity, resource utilization, and land output rate, and greatly improving agricultural production efficiency. At the same time, the ‘plow’ of technology is gradually changing the production methods of farmers, continuously improving the comprehensive efficiency and competitiveness of agriculture, promoting the high-quality development of agricultural production towards precision, efficiency, and green, and assisting in the revitalization of rural industries.
Recently, Patiman Abudula, a villager from Yujimai Aizhike Village, Boskamu Township, Zepu County, looked at his wheat field with a smile on his face. Since using drip irrigation, simply setting the formula and mode can easily complete the watering and fertilization of wheat.
Previously, watering the land was flooded with water and required people to take turns guarding it. Now, it’s different. The wheat field has been covered with drip irrigation belts, which can be watered in an hour or so. The drip irrigation belts not only save water, but also make people worry free! “Patiman Abdullah said happily.
In recent years, Zepu County has continuously improved the development level of scientific and technological empowerment of Mechanised agriculture, changed the traditional farming mode, and extended mechanized operations from the ground to the air. As a new product of modern agriculture in the promotion and development of mechanization, the plant protection UAV has the advantages of labor saving, time saving, drug saving, low cost, uniform atomization of liquid medicine, and convenient operation. The average daily operation area can reach more than 350 mu, and the efficiency is 40 times that of manual work.
Plant protection drones have the characteristics of fast speed, high efficiency, low cost, uniform spraying, good atomization effect, safety and environmental protection. By using drones, the workload of a few days can be completed in just a few hours, which not only helps farmers reduce labor costs and pesticide use, but also improves the prevention and control effect. “Introduction by Alimujiang Wusman, a cadre of the Zepu County Seed Farm.
Zepu County has continuously improved the development level of scientific and technological empowerment of Mechanised agriculture, changed the traditional farming mode, extended mechanized operations from the ground to the air, adopted the operating mechanism of “cooperatives+farmers”, strengthened agricultural technology popularization, and expanded technical services. At present, there are a total of 50 plant protection drones and 169 satellite navigation intelligent agricultural equipment installed in the county, with a drone operating area of 252000 acres. Nowadays, smart agriculture in Zepu County is developing rapidly, and the comprehensive level of agricultural mechanization has significantly improved. The comprehensive mechanization level of major bulk crops has reached over 93.8%. Satellite navigation has been widely used in Mechanised agriculture operations such as automatic driving, land preparation, sowing, pesticide spraying, harvesting, etc. UAV plant protection operations have covered dozens of crops such as wheat, cotton, corn, walnut, jujube, etc.
